Hey guys I have a new 2017 jeep srt all stock just did a mid muffler/ suitcase delete with a custom xPipe. I was wondering if I can just install a 180 thermostat. I do live in Hawaii so the climate here is very cool all year a round. I know these motor make some heat I still need a tune for my fan? Or could I get away with it. I believe the tune if just for the fan setting?
I don't think you need a tune. That would get expensive as you'd need an unlocked pcm but then you'd be able to adjust your fan. My Jeep isn't stock so take my bs with a grain of salt. I don't know what brand mine is other than its 180 degrees and I got it from Demon Performance. They'd be a great place to call.
perfect thank you very much. I am not looking to make it a race SUV but I do want to run an perform at its best also use that 392 every once in a while. Would you recommend an intake?
Only if you want to change the sound. These things are tuned pretty well from the factory and an intake or exhaust will just provide a different sound. I like water / meth injection and I'd do an unlocked pcm & custom tune. Low to mid 12s all day long without touching the intake or exhaust.
Nice. I traded my 2014 ecoboost fully built from roush with water/meth 485whp and 529tq. For this I love the 6.4 srt sound. I know a tune will definitely help the performance
