Gentlemen,

I bought a 180 degree T-Stat for a 1973 Challenger 340 to put in my 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 as it was the same diameter. However, upon removing the stock t-stat from my 2009, I noticed there is a plunger on the factory one that has significant depth in comparison to the 1973 t-stat. Is that a problem? Is the 180 t-stat acceptable if it doesn't have the depth that the stock 2009 t-stat does?

Thanks in advance,

Why not get one made for a 2009 SRT8?

X1 ...but also check out previous detailed threads with regard to changing your radiator fan setting(s). This task can be easily accomplished by using a tuner such as the Diablo Predator.

Take care.
