[QUOTE="NotMatt, post: 1506409, member: 15947"] 96 powerstroke 7.3... it needs a new t-stat anyway, the one in there must be stuck open as it never gets more than slightly above "C" even when I drive it for long distances... [URL]http://www.dieselsite.com/dieselsite203thermostat.aspx[/URL] Anyone (who's not trying to sell me one) have an opinion on these 203 degree stats I hear talked about vs just getting a 195 degree one from the parts store? They claim Navistar designed the 7.3 to run at this temp but Ford put a 192 or 195 in from the factory.... this one is designed with proper stem length so that the coolant bypass gets blocked when open, it's NOT an old IDI 203 degree stat. Purported claims include increased fuel mileage and power, better warm-up in the winter, and better heat from the heater... things my truck lacks in all areas (lol). What say ye oh NWW wise ones? Oh, and if I ditch the 203 degree idea... here's another comparison... OEM Motorcraft stat or parts store brand (probably Stant)? [/QUOTE]
