Ok gentlemen, my 200F dodge stat came in and i swapped it into the truck. This experiment is based on comparisons of the 200F Mopar stat to the 195 Napa one. I decided to take the plunge in this, and will post up pictures later from my phone showing the two T-stats. The Mopar one is definitely looks Cummins to me, and is very beefy to start with. My Mopar one cost roughly 60 bucks out the door at the stealership, im sure one can find one cheaper elsewhere. I'll also grab a part number, but there is another thread somewhere on CF that lists it. Its a 6 series though. I decided that since no one else will play with this monster i should be the first. This is in reference to this thread here http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/98-5-02-powertrain/579307-what-kind-thermostat-best.html So far, some baseline stats. Highway speed @ 65mph, temps 184-188, IAT 89-94 @ 45. GPD @ level, 2.40Gph(aproxx) Short idle, temps 184, IAT 105-114@ 45, GPH@ .74-.80 long idle , temps 179, IAT 96-105@ 45. GPH@ .80-.90 All units are in F. Also a short idle is say a stop ligt, to up to 7Mins. Anything over 5-7 Mins is considered a long idle. thus far today since i swapped it in, (and it burped), my temps are holding a stead 200-203F, idle gph was between .54 and .67! Thats amazing. Now we should also note that the scan guage that im using also is calibrated for the current running MPG. i expect this to change. I also took a short trip this afternoon. and we shall see over the next week or so how the temperatures handle. Tonight will be the first night of idling to say after i get to work, so we shall see.
