Looking at two oil cooler thermostats and would like the "non club's" experiences, good or bad with Mocal v.s. Troutman.
Don't want to bias your input with what I currently have, or what I've heard, but would like some objective input from you guys who have used them.... Mocal  Troutman  Wondering about quality, reliability, options and/or ease of mounting, failures, etc. Don't want to make a change without the benefit of everyone's experience! Thanks in advance for your opinions... |

I vote for none. You live in CA. Not Alaska. Start the car 10min before pre-grid and be done with it.
Warm up is for cars that need to come off of cold start quickly for emissions (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) B |
