We had some hiccups but we got the job done! And had some fun while doing it! Hope you guys enjoy this BANGER!!!
He got the 4 door dart man that’s awesome gotta 71 dart that I’m fixing up
I’ve had my 180 tstat for about 70k miles and never had any issues
I run a 160 degree stat on my 06 charger daytona rt with a supercharger and other mods, no temp issues stays around 185 or so.
take 180 thermostat from jet
On the thermostat, that little hole with piece in it should always be at the highest side of the housing. it helps with bleeding the coolant system. Especially coolant going to heater core. Thats why it starts running hot.
Those dodge engines really need working hood scoops to let air in to help keep the engine cooler.
They do have them. That’s what those two slits are on the underside. It’s one solid piece that shoves air down the sides of the engine.
I run a 160t stat on my 2006 Dodge Daytona RT. No problems.
U can also try the 192 thermastat for the hemi motors
230degrees is what my car run all day that’s not good?
Your probably looking at the oil temperature which would be normal if it’s 230
Awesome information thanks for sharing good to no the ins an outs only had my o7 srt8 300c just on a year now but loving every minute
fuck my OCD is all over the place now lol geez smh
I bet!! 😂😂😂😂 low key mines was too!!! 😬😅
@@srtdad 🤣🤣🤣😂
You still have that center console for $100
Hit him up on IG
I had to learn the had way about 180 thermostats, you have to tune your fans to come on 180 and so I just ended up going back to oem
Definitely the drag pack wheels if it was a weekend only/second car! 👍
Go with the Michimoto 180 degree tstat the best mopar 180 tstat. I live in texas and im not tuned for the 180 tstat but it works great. When i drive my temps stay at 180 but when im at a stop light it goes back to stock 200 since im not tuned, but i drive a scat. The 180 degree tstat helps with consistency when you are doing multiple runs with somebody your engine stays cooler which also keeps your air intake temps cooler. I notice your air intake is exposed with no heat shield. This could also be contributing to your overheating since your car is breathing hot air from the engine, you need a heat shield atleast, if not an intake that is fully sealed.
I put the heat shield back on bro if you noticed I took the strut tower off and put the hood air grabber and heat shield back on and I’m almost 100% that both my 180 T stats were michimoto ones. SRT Autoworks told me they have been getting a lot of bad 180 Tstats lately when I went to change it the first time
That black 06 I be seeing that all the time because I used to live right over there that shits hella clean
It’s very clean!! 🔥🔥🔥
And all the spots you were cruising in the video I know those spots. Does Mario live in the laveen area?
I mean I have a 2007 charger interceptor 5.7 swap the charger doesn’t pass 165 ish and the 300 stays around 190
I switched my 06 SRT to a 180 and without the fan turned on it’ll hold in that range. I still have the fans on a separate switch that the previous owner installed. I used the mopar coolant and pinhole at 12 on the stat. Personally I like the extra protection of the 180 cause if it runs hot at 200 sitting in traffic etc… I know I’m good. Video is on my channel.
180 tstat is so important. I lost my cooling fan a month ago, my car was able to drive almost anywhere and stayed under 200 even without the fan. Ive had it for almost 2 years no problems. In summer air my 5.7 was able to stay around 188 to 192 while around town, and 181- 183 on highway. Without that thermostat it wouldnt have been drivable. If you tune the 3 stage fans to come in at 188, 200, and 212 then you will never get hot. With the fan it never gets hotter than 194, even while pullimg
I live in the East Valley Mesa and have been tempted to change it out to the 180 thermostat but i'm glad i didnt.
Of it ain’t broke don’t fix it 😅
Bro you got a number for this young gentleman
Hit him up on instagram!
@@srtdad I can’t get on insta. What’s the name of shop is it on search engines
Been watching your videos brother, and I’m building my 2010 pursuit 5.7 based off yours, love the content man, keep going !! 🫡🔥
Thank you for your support 🫡💯
get your fans tuned to come on at 180 if you have the 180 temp tstat
They are tuned for 180 bro maybe I just had some bad luck 🥲
I use a 180 tstat fail safe and my tune allows me to set fans at 185 so my car stays around 188-195 in the summer 😊
SRT 8 a beauty keep that baby running!
Forever!!! 🔥🔥🔥
I had issues with the 180 T stat as well on my charger it would always go out.
Well good to know I’m not crazy! Lol
Same here my temps highest they been is 221 and running the same cam and everything. Hopefully it gets cooler for you
Thanks bro
I’m running stock thermostat and haven’t had any issues on my 06 srt. Read a bunch of forums on the 180s and a bunch of them had issues with over heating so I never made the move.
Yea I’ve heard a lot of stories of them getting stuck shut
Dude installed the thermostat upside down. The jiggle valve should be at or near the12 o clock position. Also shouldn't be mixing different color coolants together.
Actually there is a big debate on this, I’ve heard of guys running cooler with it facing closer to the 6 o clock position but guess we will see 😬
And as far as the coolant it has nothing to do with the color it’s just dye however the technology matters! HOAT is what our mopars use 💯 so we good there 👍🏼
I’m considering selling my ‘08 SRT8 Superbee. It has been nothing but trouble since I’ve pulled it out of winter storage this year. First a transmission sensor went out, then both front wheel bearings wore out. My ESP BAS light came on but now only my TCS light appears on the dash. Now just the other day I got a trouble code for a cam position sensor.
Keep in mind all of this has happened in about a month and a half.
I stay right by that auto zone, if y’all do a car meet like that again let me know or anywhere I’ll pull the “HellBoy” out!
Bet
Y’all should start a srt8 car club
Maybe one day 💯
Thx for making a video on this this rlly helps find out why my car over heats all the time I forgot to do that’s 😂🤦♂️
Thx for watching brother 💯
You may need higher temp to keep the water in the radiator longer
You may be right 💯
my 180 tstat works perfect temp stays between 185-190 while driving and at idle
Mine does too
Young man gotta stop keeping his legs under car with just jack
Can you ask him what’s there first car with the weird back window
That center console still for sale?
Yep hit him up on instagram 💯
Has to still be open it should be at 180-203 my SHI was runnin 260 now it’s at 180-203 when I’m dogN it
The thermostat wasn’t placed correctly, the tiny hole on the thermostat should be place at 12 o’clock position
I’ve corrected this mistake since this video i installed a 180 Tstat myself will make an update video soon
SRT dad what does your oil temp run my oil temp all the way up to 224 degrees on the digital but my temp will be over the 215 on my 06 SRT8 it does not have two water temps😊 that is digital oil is just was wondering
Yea what you see on your normal dash is coolant temperature what you see on digital is oil temp two different things if you hold your music and compass button for 10seconds at the same time you can access your coolant temperature
Thanks what does your oil temp run normally
@@joefurrer5428 usually in the 230’s
So my car runs at 190 with AC on and without. Gets to about 205 at idle.
On a stock Tstat?
How’s the temperature looking after the change did it help? I’m having trouble with mine now lol.
The higher number holds the water in radiator to be cooled for longer before it rE-enters the system
This makes sense 💯
@@srtdad arizona gets extra hot. There is also a sprayer device that you can use to spray mist on the front of the radiator on super hot days too
@@srtdad when I use to run my 440 big block it could easily get super hot
I never run anything but oem thermostat. I've had any issues. But all my cars have been completely stock. My challenger is the only car I have had with any kinds of mods. But, the mods on it are visual. Awesome content. Looks like you guys had fun!
Appreciate you boss 💯
He didnt cover the belt up?? Dam.. u gonna need a new belt soon now and u better hope he didnt spill any on ut alternator... If so thats gonna be shot aswell..
We washed it off afterwards as long as it doesn’t dry on there hopefully I’m okay but either way we should have covered it up 🤦🏻♂️
Hey man did u move out havent seen ur charger
Nah she’s a garage queen again 🫡
why did he turn it left to tighten it up
It’s not a screw more like a plug 👍🏼💯
@@srtdad oh ok 👍🏾
Now why would you let a 17yr old kid touch the srt8?? Come on bro
Honestly wanted to see the work done ✅ sometimes shops do a bad job especially with warranty work they half ass it and do a crap job so really hard to let anyone work on your car now days 🙁😏
@@srtdad True I'm just busting your balls but I didn't know you had that many thermostat issues bro. You keep doing them damn burnouts that's why messing things up lol
SRT SERVICE to fix TEMPERATURE REGULARLY 😮
