| Post subject: | need a new thermostat |
I need a new thermostat. What is the best option to go with. I read about an in-line tstat that is very inexpensive or the dealer wants $155+ tax for OEM replacement and $10+tax for the gasket. Is there anything that would be better then original? I think I saw a list of Renaults that would work? I want something that I won't have to replace very often if at all. Thanks |

Suggest you look at idparts. I have an in-line fail safe in the open position thermostat "never-fail+ by Stant as a spare that I carry with me for emergencies. Faultless service and communication but look around. Behr or Mopar brand recommended by me at least. |

I replaced my thermostat at 52K with OEM and now it may be failing again at 84K. I will be going inline this time. Replacing the factory one is expensive and pain in the booty. |

I suggest you read about how many have had serious overheating issues with the in-line thermostat. I bought one and never installed it because of all the problems. Not everyone has, though. One overheat is apparently too much. I passed since the risk/reward ratio did not seem favorable. DOC |

The message was simple and clear, the first suggestion was the permanent fix per id parts or similar. One is for emergencies and the others - my recommendations were the Behr and / or Mopar names. The in-line unit was clearly suggested to give breathing space so a proper fix can be orchestrated. Or so I thought. |
