Group buy on 170 degree thermostats for F150 or Flex/SHO/Explorer Sport/MKT/MKS

Any idea on delivery dates?  USPS sucks for tracking packages and they don't even post an estimated date of delivery.

They all went out Friday from AZ, so I would guess 2 to 5 days

I'm so anxious to get it installed. My truck is running H-O-T...

I have 2 Flex/SHO etc left and 9 truck ones in the garage. Buy them up people!

Guess what was on my front porch!

Thanks, Mike!!!!

Awesome, glad to hear it!

Can I refill lost coolant with Prestones equal to the ford coolant or would I be better topping off with plain distiller water?

I don't need sub zero antifreeze protection here in Houston.  And my truck sleeps in the garage in the event overnight temps dip too low.

Yes you can install without a tune update and I used distilled water to top mine off.

Nice. Thanks I'm gonna slap it in first thing tomorrow. It's gonna be triple digits round here until Christmas.

Stat is in. Woohoo.

Fairly straight forward install on the trucks, but long extensions are a must.
