Stock thermostat

What temperature are the stock thermostats designed to open at? I'm thinking about getting a lower temp one because my temps are always at 200 or a little above.

 

IDK what temp they are set for, but that's sounds about right where my car runs at.

 

well... the SRT8s come with a 193* t-stat. Low speed fans come on at 210 and high speed fans come on at 220.

I have no clue about the SRT4s but I couldn't help myself from telling you that :rofl: I wonder if they're the same?

 

Stock on the 4 is 195, do a 180 and the fan mod

Check with any of the vendors on here I'm sure one carries the 180 for the SRT4

Stant Part# 13788

 

I got a 180 from napa and some new coolant thanks

 

hmmm.... my srt8 is always above 200.. I think it stays at 210. Wonder if I need to install a lower Tstat.

 

probably wouldn't hurt...

 

get a 180* and a diablosport and reprogram the pcm for the new t-statand i dont have the fan mod and my car doesnt go anyhigher than 185*

 

Can't wait to get my diablosport:grin:

 

ill sell u mine lol

 

lol alrite awesome, way better than buying a brand new one for $400

 

Whats the best way to drain my coolant? Is there a drain plug or do i just take off the hose?

 

drain plug on the bottom of the rad

 

^^^ Mine always stays right there too! ^^^
