Trying to figure out at what coolant temp we go from open loop to closed loop?
Been reading anywhere from 165*-190*.
I have been testing year to year on different thermostats… ya ya 195 is the only way to be…
So far I have tested 195* and 160*, only difference has been with the 195 I did experience over heating from time to time and with the 160* I’m running 160*-170ish.
Over heating happened in 107* outside temps, with the 160* I ran up to 170* in 105* outside temps.
Keep in mind the only time my rig sees the street is a short trip to close trails, no more than 10mins of street time with most times its on a trailer right up to the parking area/trail head… the over heating happened on a trail not the street.
I’m tempted to move up to a 180* stat if it will get me into closed loop to see if there is a difference in the way it runs at all. Not exactly looking at moving back to a 195* and possibly experience overheating again.
