how do you guys feel about doing this all year long? My setup will be a bran new stock rad, taurus elec fan, and high mileage replacement hoses.

dont do it. the colling system is designed to have the thermostat in it. it's a designed blockage. plus the car will take forever to heat up and might not heat up at all.. not running a t-stat is retarded.

Definitely bad idea, wont be able to drive far, it will mess stuff up.

The thermostat lets the water sit in the rad so it has time to cool off. With no thermostat the water will keep moving through without cooling good and on hot days it will keep heating up until you overheat. That is also the problem if you run too cool of a thermostat.

You should never do that,many of the reasons have already been stated.

dumbass mechanic here told me I should do that in my turbo build to help it cool. [&:]I told him what a great idea it was then walked away.

seems like every month now some genius has the idea to run no t-stat

the computer doesnt switch to normal mode until coolant
hits more than 165*
You will stay in cold start warm-up mode forever.

Yeah, don't do it. Go to a lower degree T-stat if you want.
