First off it's (thermostat):icon_rofl::icon_rofl:, second, you have to use photobucket to upload pics and cut and paste image link to the pic button. Third, My 83 was like 192 degrees but I took it out and put in a 160, runs much cooler now.:icon_thumby:

if you use photobucket and grab the image link, all you have to do is paste it not hit the image button like everyone seems to do...

and 192 or 195 or whatever it is is what you want, they run fine there, that's what I'm using in my turbo engine...

I just bought this little truck, and as it is now, the farther you drive it with the ac on, the colder the gauge shows. After a hundred miles yesterday it was almost back down to ice cold (gauge)


Nothing like the wifes 99
