John,
Now you have me confused. My coach is now running just fine at 190 degrees. A while ago Emery Stora recommended a thermostat that I believe is the 190 degree guy. Now you recommend a 180 degree model.
Which way do we go here?

"The recommended thermostat is a Robert Shaw 330-195. I don't know that NAPA sells this one. If you have an AutoZone in your area they sell it. I would try this thermostat before you do anything else."

My motor from mondello has no thermostat, just a restrictor....... so make
you own choice.

>Richard,
>Your showing no mercy here! The manual says the the correct range is
190Deg F thermostate and the number for that one would be 330-190. I too
have chosen to go with the 180 degree for the same reason as Tom has.
Either one will work and I have heard of other GMCers have gone as low as
160 units. The choice is really yours and if your happy with the 190 then
don't change it.
