That's possible... However, I kind of suspect that I might have a
problem on my truck. In the winter, I have to run premium or it pings.
I don't know if they formulate the gas differently or if it has
something to do with the cold, but when I put the cheaper stuff in
there, it pings.
I went ahead and got a thermostat at Parts America. ($5 for the
thermostat and $.99 for a gasket) The thermostat has a lifetime
warrantee on it. I think it might be a good idea to install it even
if I wasn't getting the SBEC... They also had a cheaper one that was
under $3, but it didn't have the lifetime warantee, and I could tell from
looking at it that it wasn't as well made.

Thanks! While we're on the subject, does anyone have a cheaper source?
(Hey, its like an on-line auction... "I've got 7.95, do I hear 6.95?
Whattlyabid? whattlyabid?") ;-)

Heh heh heh! I can smoke 'em now; why do you think I needed new ones?
