Sweet so it just bolts right in, so just find a single cab 92+ F150 with these buckets and it will work great?

fyi start all the bolts b4 tightening them bc if u just tighten them when u get to the last bolt it woulnt line up. but ive dun the swap from takin the bolts out to tightening them on the new seats took me 10 mins

Great...Yea I am not going to go all out. This is my DD for awhile, got to get threw the hard winters here and what not.
When you run around for awhile, what is your temp gauge at?
Mine barely gets past cold. Its in the "normal" bars, but on the far left near C. Is that bad? I ran it 40 miles at 55mph and still it stayed there...

These trucks need a 190 degree thermostat, not a 180. A 180 will cause it to runrich and be stuck in a warm up loop. These trucks are warmed up at 192 degrees (Using the ECT for reference. Don't make the problem worse with a 180. Get a 190 or 192 if they have them, and don't forget to test the thermostat before you put it in (boiling water with a thermometer of some sort).
