I have a 2010 Tahoe with the 5.3 L engine. I currently live in New Jersey . My wife and I want to move to South Carolina. I looked on the internet to find out if S.C. has a vehicle inspection, according to what I found I do not think they have any inspection.
The vehicle as you know has a 210 degree thermostat in it.
What if I put a 190 degree thermostat in it.
I do not like the thought of running the engine with that high of a degree setting, especially in the summer in S.C.
Would that mess up the computer input , would the computer say-- put a richer fuel into the injectors? Would the truck run the same as if it had the 210 Degree therm. in it .Would the fuel mileage change?
I plan on keeping the truck for a long time . My last truck was a 1994 Suburban that I put over 220 ,000 on it , [ a great truck] if it werent for the salt on the roads in N.J. I would still have it. I have been using Mobil 1 oil since 1981 .
Thanks in advance for your replies.
