BenKey Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Man alot of talk about thermostats in the last month. I have a Hypertech and had one on my last truck. Never have had a problem with either. If you get any t-stat and it doesn't seem to be working correctly, it's easy and quick to change. Hypertech is an easy risk to take and it's easy enough to change back if you have problems or not happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hank Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 i like my hypertech. it works fine unless it's over 85* outside and i run my rpm's up over 2500. after that, i can't tell i got a 160* in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_a_n_payne Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 How do you put it in? Someone needs to do a how to on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 If you need a how-to on a thermo install, I would suggest a Haynes manual. There may not be one out for the SS specifically, but any one for a '99-03 Chevy/GMC 4.8/5.3/6.0 will work. Everything is pretty much still the same. Use my old one all the time.

But, I also believe you have to start somewhere. We all did. A Haynes manual will give the confidence needed to do most things on this truck. Only ability you really need is the ability to follow directions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
