Do you have a chip or a custom tune? If not Id stick to the stock 190 stat.

 

[GMCzar]

No chip, no tune.

I would stick to stock . Are you having some kind of overheating problem or whats the reason you want to go with the cooler one?

 

[GMCzar]

Just looking to improve performce. Being that I live in Sunny So. Cal there is no need for me to worry about cold winter months.

By running a cooler t-stat the computer is going to think its colder than it is and it will run rich. What year truck is it?

 

[GMCzar]

Exactly. She is a '97.

You might be able to get away with a 180 t stat. You could spend the money on one from JET or whoever or you can get one from autozone for half the money.

When I first bought my truck it had a 180 in it, everything worked fine, but I pull it and installed a 195. I would stay with the stock 195, because of the computer. Are you having overheating problems?

No heating problems at all. Just wanting to keep the motor running a tad cooler for minimal gains.
