WTF is the difference between a Stant and Super Stant thermostat 'cept $4?

Anyone ever change the heater core in a early 80s chevy truck? Was just offered $80 to do so

will it take you an hour?

the superstat has a relief hole to help get the air out. worth the four bucks.

i have drill bits too

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

is that really the only difference? If so that's ****ing dumb and i'll drill my own hole

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

yep.

I always drill out an 1/8" hole in t-stats.

I also check them in water before they go in, because lately all thermostats seem to suck ass on the QC front. Even the last stant I bought didn't open properly in a pan of boiling water

it's replacement did though and is working fine in my pile.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

hmmm...found this. Turns out the superstant may be worth it

The Stant SuperStat Themostat out performs the Original Equipment themostat. Unlike the OE themostats that continually open and close to achieve the proper operation temperature and flood the engine with coolant, the Stant SuperStat has a patented V-notch, non linear design that reduces cycling by precisely metering the amount of coolant needed. the V-notch provides a small initial flow. As the engine heats up, the V-notches gradually open wider, metering coolant released into the system until the desired engine temperture is reached. The benefits of proper engine temperature control are: efficient engine operation, prolonged engine life, reduced oil consumption, improved fuel economy and improved emmisions. The SuperStat uses a high flow venturi for maximum cooling capacity during high temperature high load operation, and employes a patented Weir Valve, for percision flow metering during cold weather light load operation, to ensure stable temperature control under all conditions.The power element of the SuperStat is comparable to those used in the heavy duty trucking industry. It employs an actuator piston that is 25% larger than our standard themostat and 55% larger than competitive products. This larger heavy piston duty delivers one and one half times as much power as competitive stats for enhanced durability and longer life. The flange on the SuperStat is 33% thicker than our standerd product and 43% thicker than competitor's themostats for added strength and longer life.The operating spring is 50% stronger than on standard themostats. This helps return the Superstat to the closed position and provent cold running even under the most adverse operating conditions.

I have a Milodon high flow 180º in my 440.

The only reason I splurged was because cooling a big block is always an issue, and I need as much flow as I can get with a rear mount setup.

With any 4.0, I always used a SuperStat.

Hmmm I see what the issue is

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

it's got an abs tone ring, so I figured upside down rear. Looks like it was an LSD too.

Yo Dawg, I hear you like springs with your springs

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

yea, the carriers are one of the weak links of an 8.8

 

[dukie564]

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

mmm no way to fix that other than a full case locker I bet huh...I'll have to keep that in mind.

The open carriers are beefier than the limited slip ones.

Any chance you craigslisted that 8.8 bridge from a dude in wilmington?

Nah - down in Virginia

BTW what's up man? Haven't seen you on here in forever
