180 just drops in...not ses light.
160 most often gives SES light and causes the fans to run continuously as well as having the temp gauge turn off.
it is best to tune the fan off / on temps in relation to the new thermostat as well. either a manual fan switch or someting like a hypertech to actually reprogram the compter.Comment

so right now my car always sits at 210 and stock is 195. so if i get a 180 what will it sit at normally? under 200?<a href=\"http://cardomain.com/id/articacid\" target=\"_blank\">2002 35th Anniv.

i went from just over half way on the stock temp gauge to just under halfway on the temp gauge when I switched to a 180 thermo. my fans a tuned for the 180 thermo and it does not go up in temp while ideling at stop lights. it just always stays below the halfway mark on the gauge.Comment

i dont see why it would be a problem if your fans were on all the time. if they were on all the time the engine should run cooler, which would make it perform better.Comment

incorrect...the fans will come on at their normal stock temps which is well over 210*Originally posted by grayman:
