I’m guilty of going over to the ss forum to get some questions answered . The zl1 section sometimes falls inactive as to where the ss side has more traffic . Although . when I asked questions over at the ss side , it mostly had to do with a common part. Not a zl1 specific one . Zl1 specific part or mod - I understand that where the op was asking for a zl1 owner to chime in on it. I also don’t mind ss guys trying to help either . I mean they meant well , it wasn’t like they were trying to argue and tell us what to do ,or being arrogant in their post . Never really thought we were separated amongst ourselves . I mean SS -V6 -z28 or zl1 we all share the same name plate and bow tie badge . It’s all a big family and guess viewed it as so . My apologies if that’s wrong .

It is refreshing to see diplomacy in any aspect of society in America these days. Speaks well of the entire community.

I don't care about whether your car is a ZL1 or SS or any of that crap. Either way, I got both bases covered.
If you have a question about your ZL1, obviously you ask it in the ZL1 forum. But when you seek answers, even someone with an SS or LS might have the answer you need. And vice-versa. If you can offer legitimate help, help. Most of the time it may be prudent to preface answers with something like "My SS didn't have that issue, but a similar situation happened on my ZL1....blah blah". If you're courteous and non-dickish whether giving or asking advice, it should all go well. There's an ignore function I believe, and also a built-in "skip" feature in my brain where I stop reading someone's drivel if I know it's BS or isn't helpful. That said, some people here appear to think the thermostat is there to control coolant temps. It doesn't. Your cooling system condition determines the equillibrium temperature. The thermostat only makes the engine recirc the coolant for quicker heatups until the thermostat setpoint is reached. So if the thermostat starts to open at 160, it still may average out about 180 or 190 or so. This is not much of a big deal. If your cooling system is way overdesigned, it COULD hypothetically keep you around 160, but that would be very unusual. But if you're soaring around 235 or so just driving around normally, that usually shows there's a problem that needs addressing. 172 degrees on the highway is excellent.
