Re: Thermostat (Dcvertigo)
You will need to reprogram your computer to take full advantage of the thermostat change, or you can add a manual fan switch. Otherwise it will still run at higher temps because the fans are still set to come on at 190 and 205 degrees (or something like that).

Re: Thermostat (Dcvertigo)
You should see lower temps while on the highway but in town temps will go up since the fan still comes on at stock temps.
You can add a performance chip for big $$ or install an aux fan switch (if you don't already have an aux fan in front of the radiator) into the block below #1 & #3 plugs. Then splice the wire from the aux fan sw into the Grn/Yel wire near the main fan relay on the rear of the left inner wheel well.
Or you can install a dash-mounted switch to manually turn on the main fan. Again just splice a wire from the switch into the Grn/Yel wire at the fan relay and run another wire from the other switch terminal to a ground.
