[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 1018370, member: 61136"] We did have a few membrs that droped the cap pressures with good success. If iremember it saved them from bursting the 3rd radiator. Plus an overheating isssue. Idroped my t-stat on my 4.0L , to the optional 180degree here in houston with a 16 lb cap. Mysummer temps run 188-190 instaed of 220. Sinnce I now run underdrive pulleys. Winter temps run 188-190, also. In my own test Ifound the oem t-stat only opened 1/4". the 180 stant t- stat opened fully. Ihave had this same trouble with ford t-stats in the past. Bleww the tank off of my '94 stang rad. Call me a pesimist. Idont allows agree with auto engineers. In all services. Or the new oem was faulty. Anyway t-stats and caps. Stant hasbeen my brand to buy.
