What is the best thermostat for my 5.0 with the stock block? As of rite now the thermostat it has doesn't make the block warm up, so it always running cold and I don't know if it's the thermostat that it has, has been set to a cold degree or if the thermostat doesnt work nomore.

Thanks I'm gonna go buy that thermostat rite now!! Many people have told me that it's better to run these 5.0 motor cold is that true?.

To a point. You don't wanna be too cold and stay out of closed loop.

I was wondering the same thing. Mine will run at like 140 on the freeway and may get up to 180 in town, when the A/C is off. If I turn the A/C on, in town it will rise up to 220 or 230 and I have to turn the A/C off and idle the temp back down. I didn't know the A/C would affect the temp that much. I do not know what thermostat I have in mine, as the car is fairly new to me. Has anyone ever seen that?

that is horrible for it to fluctuate like that. 230 is up there also. check your fan clutch

I was apprehensive the aforementioned thing. Mine will run at like 140 on the freeway and may get up to 180 in town, if the A/C is off. If I about-face the A/C on, in boondocks it will acceleration up to 220 or 230 and I accept to about-face the A/C off and abandoned the acting aback down.
