Changing thermostat, need help

Post by ntymd8r »

I had a Hypertech 160 thermostat in my 01 Z28. My water pump just failed (after 204,000 FUN miles!) and I got a new replacement from GM. Just found out they discontinued the LS1 water pump and now use the LS2 water pump, which the only difference is the thermostat housing. Long story short, I am putting the stock 187 thermostat back in. Do I need to change any settings with fans and degree of thermostat? If I don't, will it hurt anything in daily driving?

Thanks, Alex

if you adjusted the parameters for the thermostat, select adjustable parameters and select restore all parameters to return the thermostat setting back to factory.

I am a total newbie at this, had you guys make me a custom tune several years back....never really messed with adjusting the parameters myself, kinda forgot the procedure. Can you write me a walk thru if you have time?
