No, I didn't feel any difference between the factory stat and the 160* stat.
I don't see it as a mod for adding hp or torque. Just isnt happening.
The only gain from this change is possibly running a few degrees more of timing like mentioned above.
I have heard of guys stating it does lower the tranny temps. This would of course increase life of tranny.
I though on the other hand have noticed a 1 mpg loss. I'm guessing from the coolant staying cooler for a longer period of time, which makes the engine warm up longer, thus burning a bit more extra fuel in the mornings.
That's my assumption. I'm not driving my truck any different.
