Vortec MAX Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 (edited) I was looking on the Lingenfelter site at T-stats. There are a bunch of different types. Do I need one with the housing attached, or just a bare T-stat? Take a look at the web page and tell me which ones I need if I wanted both a 160 and a 180. Lingenfelter T-stats Also, does anyone know what the stock temperature is?

The stock t-stat is 86 degree Celsius = 186.8 degree Fahrenheit as you can see in the below picture. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006SilverSS Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I just looked it up and I'm pretty sure this is the one I'm running SLP t-stat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortec MAX Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Thanks! If the stock one is 186.8 degrees, it seems like a waste of time and money to put one in that is only 7 degrees cooler. I think I will try the 160. You are sure LN1001 is the right one?

Mike It looks like it's the right one and from the description between that one and the one I got from SLP they should be about the same. If in doubt you could go with the one from SLP like most of us have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.justin. Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I'm sure you're aware of this already, but wanted to throw it out there anyway. Even with a cooler stat, you'll still run close to the same temp that you run now at city speeds. Your PCM will need to be modified to lower the fan on-temps to take advantage of this. At highway speeds, you should notice it running cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortec MAX Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 prolly depends on how bad your winters are in Idaho...... 160 is still pretty warm. I would imagine the heater would still work pretty well. We are only talking a 27 degree difference. If I had an issue, such as constant freeway speed making the heat not work so well, I could cover a portion of the radiator with a piece of cardboard. This is also known as an Idaho high tech solution Has anyone put in a 160 that lives in a cold climate? Some feedback on this would help. Thanks for all the quick responses.

Fireman31 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 for an '06 you should need just the thermostat only, no housing needed......I have a 160* SLP T-stat for my SSS just havent installed it yet, paid like $24 from Summit Racing........I believe that the stock thermostat is 195* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oo p0op oO Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I believe that the stock thermostat is 195* thats what i heard...stock t-stat is around 190-195* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
