Anybody mention anything about checking the fan clutch? I'm not reading 4 pages of posts.....I would put in a 180 stat- 5.0's are not designed to run that cool (meaning 160 or below)- the computer will not like it. Anyway, back to what I'd do.....I'd flush the system, put a new stat in, put in at least a high efficiency 3 row, and, finally I'd check the fan clutch. An electric fan wouldn't hurt. Sorry if I'm late and somebody already said the same thing.

QDRHRSE, i would not bother reading the other pages unless levity is needed - no real tech in those pages.
we just bide our time until our special SN member chimes in with another 'technically' insightful gem.

I've heard that stuffing your tail pipe with banannas increases bottom end torque. I know this is fact because my "buddy" did it with a stock 5 oh then beat the crap out a Viper RT on the quarter mile!

Edit: come to think of it... he did not specify that was the car's tail pipe he stuffed the banannas into. Hmmmmmm.
