Anyone care to illustrate the 180* T-stat install?
Sounds like many have done it but I can't find a step by step on the darn thing anywhere or pictures.
Anyone . . . Bueller?

Friggin' great bro, thanks a ton! I've never seen red anti-freeze before unless it was for an RV. Thanks to the ole' buddy who took the time to make the vid for us too!

It's really not that hard. I did lose some coolant the first time I did it, but since then it has been pretty routine *I have switched back and forth with the stock and 180 tstats..
good luck

why would you switch back n' forth between stock and the 180?

I think the cat was hoping for some spillage of antifreeze. He sounded disappointed at the end...

Here's an older thread with numerous comments. May help your decision. As I said, has only happened to me once....in the mountains, 45* or less.
