I'll never use a stand alone inline thermostat again as they are not reliable enough.

Could you please share which product you specifically used on which which specific make and models of cars and which years and some of the failures and limitations you speak of?

As much as I trust someone on the internet by their general words, well frankly, it is a bit difficult, too considering the lack of specificity in your posts.

Please don't take that personally.

Hey ScoobieZ, my mistake on the stoppage of flow as I was thinking more of the lines of a standard thermostat. But I still would not want to rely on a spring to regulate the flow to the cooler. I prefer the cooler to do the regulating. Also you should really install a temp sensor so you know what type of temps you are generating. This will give you an idea of what size cooler you need as well as if the cooler you installed in doing a good enough job.

Nope, that's just too much work to detail the failure. The in-line oil thermostat is long gone, dissected and once the issue was discovered; thrown out.

I wont use those on my vehicles, nor do I recommend them. It's your choice to accept my words of wisdom. After all, its your car and your repair bill, if things go wrong.

Please don't take it personally, but I don't have to prove a damn thing except to myself lol

... okay then don't expect anyone to take you seriously if you're not going to even provide which product you used on which car. If you can't provide even that much information then why are you here spreading your information not backed by anything?

This leads me to believe that:
1) you're embarassed because you didn't install something correctly or didn't know how it worked
2) you're embarassed you bought a 20 dollar stat and it did not work as you expected
Or
3) you're completely full of ****.

So if you're not going to actually add anything of value to our discussion other than general threats please leave. Sad that a base member has to tell a "premium" member this.
