All, Need to replace my thermostat. I've read through the tech section and am well-equipped to do the job at home. I've googled the tstat/gasket and came across lots of possible vendors. I have never purchased from any of them and wonder if the group can provide guidance on which vendor to use for price and delivery? Thanks, Dan |

Have you thought about using the inline thermostat? It is a ten minute job and doesn't fail as much. I have had mine for 3 years and work's great. |

We don't know this is the best there is as there are not many in service and no history on them. |

"We"certainly doesn't include me nor the people that are willing to invest in this product. I can see a successful design without actually trying a product. Certainly the oem or sant is not the best, and for those particular cases, there is enough evidence to support the statement. But overall I just want to give op more options. |

Funny thing is that the Stant is the most cost-effective choice. I got mine for $9 and my back up for $7. So for the cost of yours I have about 34 years worth if I switched them out every year. But my current one is 3 years old. So I have 90-120 years worth. I only wish my Jeep last that long.The Stant is a great idea and very smart. But that is my opinion. Your is also very smart idea but to me just not cost-effective. |

Works fine for you, I'm very happy and wish you luck. I didn't buy a jeep because it's cost effective, if I wanted a cost effective car I would've bought a Jetta tdi. So again, no intention to say that who has a stant is this and that, just wanted to give op a better alternative. |
