Default I think my thermostat i stuck open.....

well..Its down at about 20*F here in KC right now...
and when I drive...I can see my coolant temps drop down to 140*F
I log this in HPTuners....

so I'm pretty sure its stuck open.....

LOL


so how much price difference in a 160* or 180* stat vs just going to teh auto parts store and getting a stocker...

The stock tstat will run you $40 at most (probably closer to half that at an auto parts store). The 160s and 180s usually run <$50 depending on where you get it.
GM tstat part # 12571261

Hope this helps.
