To Stat or Not To Stat? That is the question.

No, I think a lot of good information has been put forward. I have noticed that GM has been pretty quiet..

GM deals in fact not fiction. I know exactly how Napa 111 stats work. If they listen to Henry's BS there will be a lot of hot running old Fords running around. G.M.

Have a familiar ring? "I know exactly what the shape of the world is. If you fools listen to Columbus' BS and get on that boat there will be a lot of stupid people going off the edge of the earth."

(Good thing this is just a hobby to have fun with or some people might get their undies in a twist when their opinions are contradicted.)

I just drove 400 miles over two days at 5,000 to 10,000 feet elevations in ambient temperatures between 60° and 90° and my engine with the NAPA 111 170° thermostats stayed between 170° and 190° the whole way. Now that right there is what you might call some of them there facts that GM deals out (or is it deals in?? . . . Oh, whatever.) Only dropped down to 155° for a minute or two going down a 9 mile long 8% grade and bumped up to 195° going up such a grade. Conclude what you will from them there facts.

I agree...there certainly has been a lot of information posted here....how good it actually is remains a big question in my mind. On the basis of a couple test runs with variable conditions, I would not be too quick to run out to the garage and begin making these changes on my cars. At the risk of upsetting the originator of this post, once again, I have to say there is not enough conclusive information/test results, run under controlled conditions, presented here to make a final decision. That's of course just my opinion.

I am leaving in a few hours on a 400 mile trip up over 10,000 feet and down a couple of times with the Stant stats and will report how they work "in the long run".

Here I am in Manila, Utah, population 308, elevation 6,348 feet, half way through my little overnight run testing everything out for the big Mt. Evans climb next week.

Get a load of these digs I'm staying in. It's the Steineker Motel. Yeah, it's a double wide trailer divided into 5 rooms but only two are operable at this time. No office - have to call the propietor upon arrival to drive over and open up the room. Quaint. My favorite kind of stay.



Drove 200 miles today from 5,000 to over 10,000 feet elevation in ambient temperatures from 90° to 60°. The Stant stats worked great. The engine temperature climbed to 195° on one long 8% grade in second gear and dropped down to 160° on one long descent. Other than those extremes the engine stayed between 170° and 190° all day. Another 200 miles to complete the circle to home tomorrow.
