I changed my 195 thermostat to the 180, however I see no difference whatsoever. Even on the gauge on my dash it doesnt look any different. It still reads at 195.(the 210 mark is right next to it so I figure its still 195) Could there be something wrong w/ the thermostat or did I forget to reprogram something? Anyone else have this problem?

I have installed quite a few 160 thermos in LS1's before and have had the same results. I don't know if it's in the sending unit from GM or what, but when you read the data off of Autotap or whatnot, the temperature HAS lowered.- Josh<br />If you have any questions or need installation pics/help, e-mail me: Viper98885@aol.com<br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/viper98885\" target=\"_blank\">\'93 Camaro Hardtop</a><br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/01lincolnls8\" target=\"_blank\">\'01 Lincoln LS8 Sport</a><br />\'00 Yamaha YZF-R6<br /><a href=\"http://www.ftpp.net\" target=\"_blank\">Full Throttle Performance</a> -
It's not your car. Mine did the same thing. It's just a "GM thing" I guess.

That temp gauge is nowhere near accurate. It should just have a "HOT" and "COLD" printed on it. Get yourself some scantool software to monitor the real temp.~Derrick <a href=\"http://www.appstate.edu/~do54457/\" target=\"_blank\"><i>My Webpage</i></a><br /><b>\'96 3.8L V6 M5 Firebird Y87</b> | <b>162.8 RWHP</b> / <b>196.7 RWTQ</b> <br /><b>•</b> SLP CAI <b>•</b> <a href=\"http://tech.firebirdv6.com/y87.html\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Y87</b> Package</a> - 3.23s <b>•</b> 180º thermo w/ fan switch <b>•</b> TB spacer from DEE<br />1991 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4x4Comment

Very true. V8 guys have that after 1998 too. GM made the gauge a dummy gauge so that it wouldn't move over a huge range. Either a scantool or a real temperature sensor/gauge (Autometer type) will give you an accurate reading.
