We have observed lower operating temps both around town and on the open road. One thing you have to note is that the factory temp gage is neither linear nor accurate, so you have to observe the real temps via the OBD II port. And the difference is substantial; we noted that when the cooling fans came on, the dash gage said about 190, the OBD II port said over 210, and when running on the open road, the dash gage said just under 180 while the OBD II said more like 15 degrees lower........ The stat does appear to make a make a real difference in general operating temps, but unfortunately with the inaccuracy of the dash gage is is a little hard to observe.

This testimonial parallels what we hear all the time concerning this product. It is also in line with the temperatures and results that I observed during the development of the product as I assisted LN Engineering.
Glad to see that you are pleased!
