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

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.
