    t-stat going in..

    I bought a 160degree thermostat like 7 months ago, and I never have it installed, I just took my truck to the dealer for service, and I told them to install it..
    My computer was tuned by Nelson, and he tuned the thermostat.. is that why almost all the time my fans where ON?? and I could hear them almost all the time? is that going to change with the thermostat? I live in Az.. sometimes weather gets to 120's...

    One fan will ALWAYS be on most likely. As V said, this makes sure the truck is always running cool. A better question is, why would it be a BAD thing?

    keeps everything cooler....would you really want your motor running hot....also at that if you have a trans cooler it keep air moving through it more which in turn also keeps the trans cooler which in turn keeps you ess likely to burn it up....man the list goes on...i have both fans running all time on mine
