Heat Exchangers?

I'm putting on a 2.76 upper, mafia, plugs and tune this summer. Got a stock HE still on, thoughts on upgrading to a new HE?

Stock is fine. Look at a Riesche thermostat w/modified fan temps, head cooling mod and killer chiller for cooling.

auto zone has the 170temp thermostat for 8$ It looks the same as the tstat listed above.....i compared them in person and sent the 60$ tstat back

Its not the same one. The Reische can only be purchased directly from him or LethalPerformance. And there's no way that AutoZone is paying $60 for his t-stat and selling it for $8.

The plunger on that $8 stat is not going to seal to the housing like it should. It will let coolant by at all times and that is not the proper function of a tstat. I had the $8 stat in my car when I bought it. Swapped to the Reische and dropped my temps considerably. Search and you will see why the $8 stat is no good.

You'll be fine with the stock HE with a 2.76" upper!

(EXpierence)that I cant argue with... thankx it visually looked pretty close...but your right, was reading about the Reische and the reason why its so expensive is because he uses two oem ford tstats to make one good one...thanks the reische is on order again lol
