SHOTIMENVEGAS Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 New to forum, old to ford.10 yrs n vegas, Detroit Native...Just picked up a new 2016 blk sho w/pp, pulled out of the dealer the first day I got her at a light and a charger r/t with some green mopar painted on the side pulled up next to me.(I think the green mopar meant I got a CAI) he started revin his engine so I dropped it down in sport stomped on the gas (I would have spun in my past supercharged mustangs & tuned BMW 335i no pedalling AWD ROCKS) looked at my dash it said 85...looked in my review mirror and saw about a two car lead. Sorry now for my question, Im interested in starting with the LMS Tune, 3 bar & Thermostat, I understand that if I need to take the vehicle back for warranty work, recall ( lets hope neither happens)Ill need to dial the tune back to stock, reinstall the 2 bar sensor but is it also reccomended I reinstall the original Thermostat? Thx for the help...looking forward to connecting to other SHO owners in Las Vegas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the event you go back to the dealership, the thermostat removal will not be necessary. Most dealers will not detect or have an issue with our unit.

SHOTIMENVEGAS Posted December 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Thx I heard there may be a code thown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livernois Motorsports Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Thx I heard there may be a code thown The thermostat will not throw a code when operating without fault. If the thermostat is stuck open or malfunctioning, it will throw a code identifying coolant below thermostat regulating temp. This means the thermostat is not opening and closing properly, hindering proper flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucelinc Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 I am running the 160 degree thermostat in my MKS and I recently returned it to stock since it is being sold. It is single digit temps here and there are no codes. I will probably leave the 160 in the car for the new owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOTIMENVEGAS Posted December 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Thats the plan, let the dealer know the vehicle has a tune, Ive got a relationship with the GM,its my 2nd purchase from this dealer & 10th Ford. Id rather not have to re install anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
