thermostat ????'s

well i'm in need of a new thermostat, i see that they have different temp settings, some are 160, 180, 195, 205, now you would want it to open at a lower temp to keep it running cooler right?

 

yup.....most older fords open at 160...i would reccomend that setting...thats what makes ford famous for being "cold natured".....

 

well i bought the 160 deg thermostat, but one thing i forgot to consider, being its like 20 deg here, i get alot less heat in the cab

 

but some heat is better than no heat

 

I alway ran 180's unless is was a performance engine then I'd go with the 160.....

 

I have ran 160 and 180 in my older Fords and they seem to do best. I usually went with 180 so I did have a little more heat in the winter

 

went out to start my car to go the dentist, and i had no blower, fml, so now i get to go out and start trouble shootin

 

bummer dude. I don't know how cold it is out by you, but is only 23 when I left this morning.

No blower on any fan setting or you have just high? I bet its the resistor

 

check the fuse first man...

 

or that...
