The Murray brand T-stat - Thermostat part number 4089
DOES NOT WORK for our cars. Sold in many auto stores.

The Stant thermostat - T-stat works fantastic, 188*
Stant similar part number 14089 Works great!

Part numbers! This will help new people the more text
we have with the word thermostat.

Hey kid, per our conversation I data logged a series of
80-120mph pulls today, AC on and mid 60's here with
the Stant stat in: peak temp 117* early on and cycled
up and down, max temp was 124* on long 115-120mph
pull. Coming off the offramp desired fan was only 50%
at rest in parking lot, t-stat was the issue!

With those numbers I'll keep the 188*, we only get a few
months of warm air before its cold and dreary. I plan on
boosting or spraying the motor so operating temps are
important for consistancy.

Those are some great temps... I'll take them as cold as I can get them though

I will post up the PN when I get home and can get it off the box.
