I took the guts out of the 165 degree thermostat, thinking now it will never go bad nor will the motor see harsh temps!! Yes, it takes longer to heat-up, but I have noticed excessive fuel-consumption and was told that by running the thermostat wide-open doesn't let the computer adjust correctly always shooting fuel till it reaches a certain temperature. Any thoughts??? Re: Thermostat Questions [Re: Dirtybeerguy] #789441 02/14/07 07:38 PM Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 12,153 N. California. USA 4Crawler Web Wheeler Yes, excessive fuel consumption is common with no t-stat on an EFI engine. ECU is trying to get the engine up to proper operating temps by richening up the fuel/air mix. Run the proper temp. t-stat and fix whatever other cooling system issues you aree masking by not running a t-stat. r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Re: Thermostat Questions [Re: 4Crawler] #789442 02/14/07 07:54 PM Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 14 WV D Dirtybeerguy OP Need a Spot Thanks I'll do it ASAP!!
