Is there a good thermostat solution?

Well the cheap Chinese thermostat has begun to act up bad. It never did a perfect job of keeping the temp up. When it did, it was closer to the 12 o’clock position. It is getting up to temp seldom now. It stuck once. Not sure what the typical thermostat lifespan is for these but 18 months isn’t cutting it for me. My other vehicles had thermostat last many times longer.

How much is the HDS again? I only remember it being a lot. I may just go with the 188 degree Stant 50388.

Bummer about having to do the job again. Last time I paid $530.00 USD but I did get an extra thermostat and shipping to Washington State. :5SHOTS:

Last thermostat I will ever have to purchase.

The HDS is a great piece of kit.

Pricey? Yes

But as the old saying goes "Buy once, Cry once."

Love my HDS. Been perfect for 3 years now.
