    Voltage issues

    I believe the e torque MGU s must be made in China by 8 yr old kids..they are junk as far as Im concerned..Ram replaced mine last summer..its already faltering with wild charging rates. 12.6 to 14.5 while just driving along

    Consumer Report Car/Truck edition arrived in the mail. Sorry Ram.

    Unlike GM FORD and Toyota having to replace self destructing complete engines in hundreds of thousands of their trucks?

    180 degree thermostat

    Its a 2023 Stingray with only 7k on it..not old.... it does not run 210 like my Ram, I assure you..but I also have a 99 and an 81. Both run 180 t0 190 now..the 99 gets 28mpg so it must be pretty efficient at that temp.It is a myth that hot engine make more power....COLD AIR makes more power...

    180 degree thermostat

    Exactly..my new Stingray runs at 160 to 175 degrees. I wonder of the designers just didnt know 240 degrees is better? Lol. It sure makes a lot of power at cooler temps.

    180 degree thermostat
