You have to give us some background. Put your truck description in the signature.

I think he meant PSI in the cooling system. Pretty sure it should be 7-12 or something like that. Not sure. But I am pretty sure that 32-37 will up stuff.

lol that's 0.9 bar ( = 13 psi )

I'd suggest buying the thermostat from the dealer, they're better quality and last a whole lot longer.

For coolant, run whatever brand you want.
