So here in the UK we have no Stant distributors !

14 days after ordering one on ebay and getting it shipped here, got to say, well worth the wait, temp gauge is a rock solid, more surprising was the significant increase in mpg..

Went from 22, to 28 !

Next on my list, GDE tune... Now, if only there was a distributor for them in the UK :/

i don't know if you drilled a hole in your Stant, but I did and my jeep has trouble staying warm on cold days, particularly on downhills with little to no throttle. I even bought a grill blanket to block the raditor and it will still cool down. Just watch out for this, I am thinking about plugging the hole I drilled.

I just removed my old one with the hole and replaced it with a new one. No hole, even better temp and less fluctuation of temp going down hills.

If you're going to add it to Papa's lists - try the original

he added an Eagle or two that I didn't think would help in the UK.

Well it's no secret that while I'm ok with the inline as a cheap alternative to the OEM at the same time, for personal reasons, I've not elected to go that route. That said here goes:

In line thermostat options. See rictek's post at viewtopic.php?f=5&t=64333 for how to install. Be sure to add a clamp at the "upstream" end to prevent the tstat from migrating down the hose toward the radiator inlet. Also see my comments on the purpose of a small hole in the tstat skirt.

If purchasing the thermostat by vehicle - per laplaya

If purchasing the thermostat by temperature and brand (NOTE - this list is based on cross references from several sources and is probably but not certainly correct)
195F - hotter than OEM and may improve engine efficiency

Chrysler: T0727190

Ford Motor Co.: C7RA8575E
Gates: 33109
Mopar: 3765
NAPA: 284
Renault: 33000140
Renault: 7700727190
Stant: 13519
180F - essentially the same as OEM
Beck/Arnley 143-0024 - apparently a tractor tstat
Carquest: 31177
Gates: 33108
NAPA: 184
Stant: 13518

In hose thermostat housing cribbed from an old post by arengant for which I lack the link.
Meziere WN0072 Inline Thermostat Housing with a Chevy tstat of your choice.
NOTE install comments from an old post. Orient the tstat so the spring is closest to the block to allow the hot water to open it at the correct time. Install in the hose from radiator to OEM stat, making sure the new housing touches the OEM stat housing, you'll need about two inches of hose to accomplish this without kinking the hose. A small, ca. 1/8" hole should be drilled in the middle of the flat disk, between the outer edge and the opening itself, to allow air to escape and some flow past the tstat prior to opening to prevent temperature spikes (some report that in winter having the hole causes the engine to cool off quickly when not under load; if so simply swap in a tstat without the hole). Generally those "in line" tstats have an arrow pointing in the direction or water flow or some similar marking as to orientation but you may have to look hard

I saw the posts about the hole and opted to not drill it and have had no issues, was worried about air locks etc, but figured on what I had read that I should not suffer.. 200miles since it's been in, and still around 27-28 mpg.. so am happy :)

Do not drill a hole. I have tried it both ways. No hole keeps the temp more stable and quicker heat at Idle.

Good luck
