Oil temp question
Just a quick question with my 6.0 in my suburban i was gonna use the original oil cooler or the one meant for the 6.0 but neither is gonna be easy so i found an oil cooler adapter 3 to be exact one without a thermostat or one with a 180 or 212 now my question is being in a mud truck which i will finally be able to run hard for a long time should i bother with a thermostat controlled engine oil temp or just go without one?
To be exact here they are http://www.improvedracing.com/cooler...ines-p-68.html to me this is an easy option to put an oil cooler on or some sensors and what not especially with jic fitting. I use jic all the time at work but our stuff is all hydraulic so its putting a lot more pressure through so this should be fine plus its pretty easy order some fittings/hose and a cooler and be done i would like to run an oil cooler regardless if its thermostat controlled or not.

Re: Oil temp question
Mud trucks usually run med-high rpm for good stretches of time, right? I figure, you'll probably have it warmed up before going crazy with it, and when you DO go crazy with it, it would be over 180 pretty much no matter what. Unless your worried about cold weather and under-temping the thing, I'd be in the "all cooling all the time" mentality.
