I see you're in my part of the world so usually anytime after 10am is fine.
That sounds good to me JOEL. I appreciate your time & I won't keep you long. It's just nice to talk to the maker directly before ordering. I will give you a call next week bud. ;-)

The driver's side head is the same casting as the passenger side head. So why isn't there an issue on the passenger side? Funny, that...

Is that a trick question... ? :-D
Sorry that I haven't called you yet Joel or ordered my thermostat from you. It's finals week & not only do I have limited free time, I have no extra money at the moment. I haven't forgotten about this very cool & beneficial mod though. Hopefully I will be ordering mine as soon as things get back to normal for me over here. I appreciate you helping us with this cool & very necessary custom product... ! :beer:
because there is no way for the coolant to drain back and the hot fluid accumulates in drivers side rear were as the pass side has a fitting on the back that allows the coolant to circulate passed.:thumbsup:
No worries... I'll have one for you when you're ready. Good luck with the finals.
Thanks buddy. You are a good guy JOEL... :beer:
LOL... not sure if everyone on here would agree with you but thanks :thumbsup:
thanks joel for a great thermostat, did mine today. removed drilled stock thermostat mod, installed your 170 thermostat. results far surpass my expectations. hands down superior to drilled stock thermostat mod.
thanks :beer:
thanks :beer:
Hey Joel I'm gonna be hitting you up too, I'm 86ing the Stant 180 for one of yours when I drain the coolant for the Vortech install, the Florida heat this summer is fricken killing me..

just seen this post, not sure why i havent seen it yet. id like to get one. question tho...
i have the LDC cooling mod w/aftermarket radiator running just plain ole 50/50.... checked out your site and you talk about Water Wetter, i am not familiar with it at all, reading that .pdf hurt my brain...
What is a proper, safe mixture of coolant, h2o, and water wetter with my cooling setup, and your t-stat?

It's just a matter of freeze protection. You want to run a ratio that is good to about 5-10* below the coldest temp you expect the vehicle to see, also add about 1 and a half bottles of Water Wetter to the system. In Indiana I'd probably go with a 30-35% antifreeze concentration at minimum.
Joel I just ordered one of your stats... Any install advice?
Install is pretty simple... just read up here: Cobra, Mach 1, Ford 4.6L DOHC Refill & Burp Procedure by Reische Performance Products on how to properly burp/refill the system.

it was 110 degrees outside today in socal, cobra out in stop and go traffic with the A/C on the temps never went over 210 and i have not adjusted my fans yet.... this thing is bad ass!!! night cruises it stays locked in at 170 with 90+ ambient temp air!
Yeah 110 with the A/C on is asking a lot of the underpowered stock fan, but I'm glad the stat is working well for you otherwise!
Me too. I have told Joel many times that I'm a bout to get one but I still haven't. School just started (no extra time) & I'm broke.
This mod is a very good unit to have... ! A cooler running 03/04 COBRA is a happy one. ;-)
