im having trouble finding a 180deg stat for my 99 4.3l anyone have one or know a site i can find one for cheap? any help would be appreciated

 

Any auto parts store should carry them or check out www.stylinconcepts.com I saw one on there that I wanna get for $13.

 

i have one sitting home for a 2001 that i am not using. My hypertech programmer said not to use it, but they sold it to me with the programer. its for 180. would u hapen to know what is the stock rpm rev limiter on the 2001 blazer 4x4. i need to know for adjusting it on he power programmer, what is the highest safe rpm i should use, and what speed at shift point is good

 

96 or 97 mph I belive is the stock rev limiter. Ask timetoblaze...he has a power programmer and all sorts of other gadgets under his hood. he should be able to point you in the right direction.

 

yeah it should be around97-98 .... do you have a man or auto tranny..... my auto i just put on the firmest ... wont hurt it as long as you dont beat on it everyday....like take offs etc.... ...as for the 180 stat if the company sold it to you i would imagine its safe to use...im about to put one in my blaze.... i dont really see a reason why you wouldnt be able to use it its gunna keep your engine cooler and help with engine wear..... but thats just my 2cents

 

also you know that you have to run your reg gas down to about empty and put in 93 or any higher grade than reg before doing to the tuner or you will get pinging and no one likes a pinger.....

 

i don't mean to be a dick, but 96 or 97 mph would be the speed limiter. the rev limiter limits the rpm's of the motor. say you manually select 1st gear, floor it, and forget to upshift, you won't float your valves or blow your motor. sorry, i couldn't help it[sm=smiley24.gif]

 

That was my mistake....I misread it.

 

well if u guys just relized the mistake fix it haha, what is the max stock RPM, if you dont know plses do this for me. Put ur automatic in first gear and go full throttle and tell me were the tac lands. I set mine to 5,500 rpm'. is that to high??

 

Max stock rpm on the blazer is 4600rpm, at least thats what mine was. I reprogrammed to 5300 i believe. Setting it too high can put wear on your engine if u plan on stomping it a lot.....
