So the stock thermostat is a 190 degrees.  I see most of you upgrading to the 170 degree.  Has anyone saved a few $$ and installed the 180 degree thermostat.  I am just curious since the 170 degree costs around $60 versus the 180 degree can be had for less than $10.

If you just throw it away... there is NO cost!!!!!

The original 170 deg T-stats came about due to my asking Torrie for a lower temp T-stat.  I suggested a 160... but he said 170 was best, so he had some custom modified to 170 deg from stock.  That's why they cost what they do.
