Jack,
That JET gasket is a menace and should be ignored.... I "used" it and when
I pulled up to the gas station for that tank of premium I noticed steam
coming from the hood. The gasket was cut by the edge of the thermostat...
Im not sure what application that gasket is for, but its not the 360 magnum
engine...

Subject: DML: Jack Hilton actually does a mod
Hey guys (and gals) -
I finally got my overworked (code for lazy) but out there and out one of
those things I bought for the truck *on* the truck .
It was the 180 degree stat that came with the JET module .
It was fairly easy on the 5.9 R/T . All I had to remove was the bracket
that goes from the back of the alternator to the manifold (it's black) .
Actually , I didn't have to take it off , but just move it over from where
it conects to the manifold to give me a bit more room to play with . I
could have done it without moving the bracket , but I love self-torture ,
so moving made sense to me .
I am wondering if anyone else got their stat from JET and what the hell
that rubber gasket they give you with it is for ? I tried to figure it out
(remember I'm from GA) , and even installed it once , but it just did not
go well . I opted for a regular gasket and it seems to be sealed fine now .
Well , I just had to dump some excessive testosterone by posting this and
make myself feel alil bit better .
I'll actually have the module in before I leave for Florida on Friday , so
I can see if it gives me any extra MPG as well as get it ready for the
track at Moroso .
Yes , yes , I know I could have snapped it in , but I have to finish off
the tank of 87 octane before I do it .
PEACE
