Yesterday my car overheated because i have a bad thermostat on it. but someone told me that i could just take it out and ride without one has any 1 ever did that before and whats the outcome of me not having 1?

 

You don't want to do that. Just replace it.

 

Will it run? Yes. Is it much smarter to pay the 15 bucks to replace it with a 160 degree thermostat? Yes.

 

From everything I read here with just a 160 degree, I would go higher.

 

i'd go with a 180*. i have that and the car cools down faster, runs cooler, and i still have heat for the winter.

 

I replaced mine just the other day with a 180, and believe me, with the time you spend trying to take it off(if your doing it yourself) You dont wanna have to go and do it again, so I would advise just putting a 180 in there since that will only take you like 5m to put it in, then the gasket then the sealer.
