I put a low temp thermostat in my car, but can't ell you if it is making much of a real differance since the temperatures where I live are currently 110+ degrees. What I can say is when I first got my car (last December) the temperature needle stayed right on the back of the 8 until I started to have water prump problems. Now, in the morning when it is less than 80 degrees it stays on the front of the 8. More or less. If I opush the car the temp will go up. I assume I'm hitting the capacity of my cooling system which is why I plan to add a third radiator to it. At worst, in the current temperature range, my guage hits the middle of the 0. Has neve gone past this point.

I bought my LT thermostat from a forum member, and didn't have a way to verify it was a low temperature thermostat either. Seems like it is since my car maintains a lower temperature for longer in the AM, but ...
