and for any skeptics out there who think you wont have heat in the wintertime with a 160* stat, you'd be dead wrong lol. 6 degrees out last night and i had plenty of heat blowing out of the vents

What temps do yall's cars actuallys run with the 160* in there? I've only had my car for about 2 months but I have noticed it always runs about 176*ish down the highway... Is mine mabe a 160*?

depends on the outside temp and when your fans come on. when its cold like this outside, mine would read in the 163* while driving down the highway. on a 40* night, about 168-170*

Well I set my fan #1 to come on at 185*, it don't matter how cold it is, it always runs 174-178* down the highway, I'll bet I have a 180.
