Who makes the Best 185 degree thermostat, and please don't say Stant.
When I installed my new radiator in around July of last year I put a new Stant 185 degree theremostant. Everything worked fine till this winter. When the first time I would start the truck, it sometimes wouldn't open untill around 220 degrees. It didn't do it all the time, but as time went on it did it more and more often.
So in the middle of febuary I replced it with a brand new Stant 185 degree thermostat, This time I used one of there premium thermostats, and everything was fine untill today. When I started the truck up, and hit the road it didn't open to allmost 240 degrees. Then for the rest of the day it was fine.
So what the F is happening?? I know it has clean fluid, as I changed the coolant when I moved my radiator foward the other week.
Well I guess I am going to call Stant tomorw and bitch at them, but in the meantime, it is time for a new thermostat. So what brand would you all recomend???
Thanks and sorry about my rant.
