Default Need A 160 Deg. Thermostat!
I checked Tbyrne and SLP websites and came up empty handed. Does anyone know where I can purchase a 160 deg. thermostat for the '04 6.0 HO?

Can you just mod your stock one? Thats what I did for my 00 and I can control the temp by the size spacer I put inside

Thanks guys. So, the t'stat is separate from the housing. It also looks like the factory housing has been simplified and improved.

I was reading HP books LS1/LS6 perf. and it stated that 168 degrees was the min temp that would allow the thermostat to close completely. they uased an 1/8" brass ferrule filed down to .090 inch to acheive this
