Over a year I bought a new set of component speakers and finally tried to install them. The tweeter doesn't fit in the stock a-pillar location, and since I can't return them I decided to mount as shown in the photo. Should've just bought the normal speakers! Live and learn...

 

Looks nice! How do you like that 200F thermostat? Any I’ll effects?

So far I like the 200 degree thermostat. I don't tow often or heavy, so it may not be for everyone. Before I covered my grill some it did seem the thermostat hunted some, but I only had my truck gauge to observe, no OBDLink at the time to show precise temp.

 

I may never go back to a lower temp as I have seen no downside for my application.

My truck gauge and my scan gauge mirror each other. They both read off of the same sensor thru the ODB connection.

My truck gauge shows 140, 190 and something around 240.

When comparing a 190 t-stat to a 200, I could use a few more gradations!

The mark between 140 and 190 = 165. the mark between 190 and 240 = 215, if that helps. My scan gauge marches right along with those temps. Not hard to eyeball, 190 or 200 will still read the same except for yours gong 10* higher.
