203 thermo
Has anyone seen improvements in driveability with this 203 degree thermostat?
Mileage gain, quicker warm ups?

I noticed quicker warm-ups. I run this t-stat because I want hotter coolant for the heat exchangers in my VO system.
There is no change in performance/driveability. Any claims to MPG gains from this t-stat would be suspect to me.....

I agree, I did the same when I owned my truck that was a VO burner
.
didn't really notice anything.
condidering on my Van, but not running VO and wont be for some time.
so the jury is still out on that.
I guess you can make an excuse to get one is if you come to the opportunity when you already changeing and replaceing the current one.

OK thanks......... $37 plus shipping and the probability of breaking one of those small bolts isn't worth it at this time
