Anyone Use a 90C Bremmen Thermostat in their M62TU 4.4?

Hello,


I happened across a video on YT that suggested one of the reasons why M62TUs are so unreliable is due to their high operating temperature. I did a quick search as I hadn't really thought of this before and, holy cow, the thermostats on these are rated to open at 105C! That's 220F!! No wonder the guides become brittle and fall apart. How could they not??? There is a cooler thermostat available by Bremmen, rated at 90C, which is much more reasonable. The only question is, will the DME freak out about this? Will it go into closed loop operation at this temperature? Your thoughts?


Thank you!
