One other thought on this one. Depending upon where you live, going =
below a
180=BA stat will assure you a frozen bottom and frosted windshield when =
you
arrive at your destination. You will not get very much heat in the =
winter.
Just something to keep in mind.

I think someone found that the computer needs to operate at at least =
183
degrees . If you go below that , you run the risk of the engine never
getting out of "warm-up" mode .=20
