Good catch. Mine flows at 39psi. Unless I change it.
Someone posted and said you could do 24# and the computer wouldn't allow it to go higher than needed. Not sure if that's OBI or OBII. Those are cheap too.
Please, before you argue the facts. Please google the information. I am not your "wife's" nor am I into arguing facts. Get educated before you challenge someone's post/reply to help others. Once you read a little, you will find my facts are correct regarding the relation to open/closed loop on...
I agree with most of your statement. Being 40yr. I guess I fall into the old timmers.
As for the 190*. That might be why Chevy went with a 187* stat now and not a 195* stat in their 5.3l.
Correct, OBD II doesn't like 160* My Jeep is a OBD I and I run a 180* stat. My Dodge is a OBD II and I...
You are correct. Those of us who are old enough to have had a transmission go bad, know, heat is the enemy! Also, thats why some SUV (like mine) have a factory oil cooler. Heat is the enemy also on motors.

Hot rods run 160* temps. I did some reading. Here is what I came up with. 160* temps on non OBD cars is fine. On OBD I the 180* temps is also fine. One a OBD II the 187* temp (my 2002 and 2004 5.3L this was factory! Not 195*) is fine. Funny how Chevy removed the 195* t-stat and replaced it with...
I replaced the 5 blade with the 7 blade. I also did the 180* stat. Mine runs cool! I live in the desert where it gets 116* outside. When it was 105* outside, my digital temp showed 185*! I also did the HD clutch fan. I got it from Kragen auto. It's the Hayden HD fan clutch. All of this makes my...
