Close, so close!

I know mine is a little different than yours, but I've done some tuning on it and now seem to be averaging around 25mpg. I still need to get the 195 thermostat in mine. I think I popped in a 180 durring the summer months. Dumb and wasn't needed. Got any pictures of your car in it's current state for us?

It is Friday and Joe is out in his S-10 by the mailbox, with the heater running waiting for his injectors!
I think Christmas will come early for Joe.

I've got the same situation with my thermo. I was told it "had" to be used with the chip from stickpony (which I'm no longer using )With the 180 therm the car does not heat fully up on my commute. Figured I'd pick up a 195 this weekend. Just out of curosity, did you have the second fan switch setup also on yours? My second PCM fan output is setup 10 degrees higher. I think I'll wire in a winter/summer switch for easy changes between the 2 outputs.

Gas is to expensive to waste sitting out here. Our mail is the last delivered of the day on this route. He's here between 3:30 and 4:00pm. I'm sitting here with my laptop and 4 thick blankets!!!

I saw about 2-3 MPG difference between the 180* and the 195* on my Duke. They prefer the hotter temps

Sure thing, but not much to see that has changed since the last ones I posted:
