2020 Hellcat Charger gets a 180 Thermostat.

- I have put these 180 degree thermostats in a few different scat packs with no tune with great results. It is true that you need a tune, changing the fan settings to take full advantage of the lower temps. But this does fairly well with out a tune. Temps stay in the 185 to 195 degree range for 98% of my driving, and with the other scats i did it on i never saw the 220 degree mark in traffic like I had with the factory 203 degree t-stat.

Did the Same One on my HELLCAT!
Made a big difference in my Hellcat. 185* always now.
Mine gets to about 220 when in reverse like pulling into my garage. Everything works properly, fans kick on and such, would this help me?
Thanks...I have been looking for someone to show the temp rating stamped into the thermostat.
No problem 👍
I feel like a baby compared to everybody in the comments I just bought my first v8 which is a 5.7 300 and a lot of the comments got a hellcat🥲🥲😂 I’ll get there one day ain’t no hate just motivation 💯🤝☝🏻
Hey bud I didn't see you pull a little Allen screw out to burp the air out of the system do you do that while the car is running or you let it run for a while and then you pop the screw when you get the air out? And without a fan tune what kind of temperatures do you run as I'm thinking about putting a 180 in my Hellcat
OLDSCHOOL RICHIE RICH I did not do that at all. As long as you have the wiggler valve straight up when you install the thermostat, then is should burp the air out after one drive and cool down. So I filled the coolant reservoir with what came out, replaced the cap, started the car and drove it for a few min. Then returned home and let it cool down. I haven’t really ever had a problem doing this in these cars. I am seeing the same temps i did with out a tune in my two 392 cars. I have a video on it in my 2018 scatpack album if you want to see it. They are around 185 to 192 most of the time. Of course with not tune if you idle for a long time, or get in heavy traffic they will go back close to stock temps but come back down when cruising at speed.
Ty bud il be getting one great video much appreciate the ans so quick
Looking to do a special build so i may need your help with finding some parts
Whoa Weezy no problem. Just let me know.
@@KnightsGarage im sure all the hellcat/demon blowers are the same so if you can see some part numbers i may need ya help on getting them so i can use it for my build some parts will have to be special ordered as some parts are discontinued
My car wants to heat up when I’m parked would this help? I have a 2016 hellcat charger
They will all heat up when sitting idle for long periods, Especially when it’s hot outside. This does however help that in my Experience. Takes a lot longer to heat up than before when sitting idling also I would see temps as high as 220 if the factory thermostat and I haven’t gotten above to12 with this one and that was one day when we were looking at houses and the car was pretty much idling for an hour or two. Soon as I started driving it cooled right back down to about 186.
Last time I did that on my rt I needed a new serpentine belt 😂😂😂 lets just say mistakes were made
SrtJoe damn.. lol
Heard u will still get a cel if not tuned properly for the fans
I believe that depends on the climate. If you live in a cold climate like 30 degrees or below You may have issues. But even in winter here in Alabama I’ve never gotten a CEL even in the winter time on my scatpack before I did a tune and my current 2020 hellcat.
My Jeep SRT gets to 221 at idle! Am i tripping or does everyone else’s do this? Mind you it’s 38 degrees here!
I know they run these hemi’s hot from the factory. I have a couple videos from when I have my 2018 scat talking about this. But I only got to 215 220 in traffic on hot days. Not when it was 38 degrees.
Yes my is still get to 221
Were your fans ever over worked due to the thermostat change? I’ve heard some say yes, others say no
Considering they come on at a higher temp I don’t see how they could be overworked by putting a lower degree thermostat in. It would make them run less.
I have heard of fans being over worked in cars that have gotten a tune with a stock thermostat installed Because most tuners across-the-board lower your fan on temperatures to promote better cooling for the car. Cooler engine = a happier engine to a certain point.
@@KnightsGarage Thanks!
Will you be at the "meet in the mountains " this week
Tadd Mason where is that? Probably not due to work
@@KnightsGarage Gatlinburg Tennessee
I had to work but I saw a lot of pictures, my neighbor went to Gatlinburg for the week and weekend.
we meet again ..
Don’t you get a Code for engine not getting up to temperature
I never did. I think it depends on your climate, because people in colder climate seem to get that.
@@KnightsGarage iam in Canada but the car wouldn’t get driven in winter or colder weather so maybe I’ll be ok
@@Srt_Kev I think the code has to do with the amount of time it takes to come up to a certain temp. I think it Hass to hit like 160 or so within a certain amount of time or you get the code so if you start up and start driving and it’s cold, since the thermostat begins to open sooner, it will take longer to achieve that temperature.
Like I said, I did it in three different chargers, and none of them experienced a check engine light
@@KnightsGarage yeah I think thats exactly it your right
Cant watch a video over a guys getting his day ruined over drooping "radiator fluid" on garage floor
I think you do not need a tune because you are lowering the temp. that would have to save fan life, right the fan would have to run less
if you are lowering temp. If am wrong someone explain it to me. Why change the tune? So I say the engine will last longer because it runs
cooler and the fan life should improve because it will run less. Call me if you want 406 231 3649 I have a 2018 Hellcat.
