    Cool Its winter again Thermostats,

    It's winter here in the toronto canada area,.7new glow plugs (duraterm bosch) most of you will know why only 7 ������
    and the old burb starts great.
    I put new T stats in 2 yrs ago, and the heat has always been 'marginal'
    It's difficult to wade through the internet BS these days,.
    So i'm looking for 2 195 stats that will actually work.
    i'd like A recommendation from some folks with experience and warm heaters!
    Part #'s would be a bonus.

    Thankyou!

    I have dual 180's from Kennedy, but I also use the Lund winter front panels that snap into the grille of my Tahoe. For temps around 20 to 40 degrees F, I use 5 of the 6 panels to block most of the grille. For temps under 20 degrees F, I snap in all 6 which completely blocks all the grille. If I ever tow a trailer for more than a few miles, I just have to remember to pop out a panel or two to keep the engine from getting too warm. Otherwise, this works great for me here in the Midwest: cool thermostats for summer towing, and quick warm-up and cab heat for the winter!

    i finally got fed up with the lukewarm heat,.
    i installed a pair of 12T92E stats.
    success,.
    looking at the old ones i surprised to find 1 was a 180, and 1 was 195,.
    Every winter my chev transforms to a 'gmc' as i have the shiney metal grille block off for a gmc,
