We own, drive and tune our own vehicles. Some tuners out there don't have a shop, don't own a dyno, don't pick up the phone and don't even drive Ford Vehicles. Ask yourself how they test and develop tunes.

Thermostat Showdown: Keeping Your F-150 Cool and Collected!

The Heat Is On

Ah, the trusty 11-14 F-150 3.5L V6 EcoBoost—the truck that roars like a lion and hauls like a champ. But let’s talk about something hotter than a jalapeño on a summer day: thermostats! These little heroes regulate your engine’s temperature, ensuring it stays in the Goldilocks zone—not too hot, not too cold, but just right.

The Cool Cats: 170 vs. 180 Degrees

  2. Quick Recovery: After a hard pull, this thermostat cools down faster than a popsicle in a heatwave. Say goodbye to overheating scares.

  3. Made in the USA: Because nothing says 'Merica like a thermostat that knows how to chill.

180-Degree Thermostat (Mustang Style)

Picture this: your F-150 wearing shades, cruising down the highway. That’s the 180-degree thermostat’s vibe. It’s the same one they slap into Mustangs, so you know it’s got swagger. Here’s why it’s a hit:

  1. Just Right: Not too hot, not too cold. It’s the Goldilocks of thermostats. Your engine will thank you.

  2. Easy Swap: Sure, it’s a tight squeeze to get to the thermostat housing, but with basic tools, you’ll be swapping it out like a pro. Flex those muscles!

  3. Brands That Know Their Stuff: We’re talking Reische and Mishimoto. These names are like rock stars in the thermostat world.
