2me,
engine running cooler = denser intake charge due to cooler intake system and
cooler under hood temps (more or less) Denser intake charge is good! Cold
air is denser and has more oxygen for mixing with the fuel. In some engines
the 180 Tstat kinda fools the software into richening the mixture as well
once the engine reaches steady state (over 130deg) but in the case of the
dakota I think it re-compensates based on A/F ratios and via the O2 sensors.
Anyone else out there (cringe) got a read on the tstat change interaction?
BKB

Subject: DML: ENOUGH of jules
This is my first and only post on the subject. This thread has gone on too
long and it seems the DML is becoming the JML (Jules Mailing List) I must
have
deleted 100 messages related to Jules. It is his business so let him run it
how he runs it. If he is making money good for him. If you feel he is
running
his business wrong then don't support him. Please lets stop talking about
Jules and start talking about our Dakotas. So. . . . what are the advantages
of having a 180 therm.? Other than the engine running cooler.
Jus my opinion,
2me
