QuestionWILL CHANGING THE THERMOSTAT FROM A 195 TO A 180 ON A 1991 SILVERADO 2WH DR 350 SFI V8 ENGINE OUT OF A UNKNOWN MODEL CHEVY CAR YEAR 1990 TO 1998 MAKE THAT MUCH DIFFERENCE IN PREFORMACE? NOT WORRIED ABOUT INCREASED GAS MILAGE, JUST PREFORMACE.
AnswerHi Dino,
Didn't I answer this question already?
Changing the thermal setting of your engine will have an averse affect on performance as well as economy. There is NO GOOD reason to lower the thermal settings of your engine. NO GOOD could come of it. If you are planning on running it down the 1/4 mile on the weekends, then CONSIDER a lower rating, but if you are unsure, AND YOU ARE, leave it the way it is!
Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).
Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
