Aftermarket (Stant) thermostats

Good luck with the Stant, Ted. I hate them. I exploded a radiator end tank when I used one years back. Swapped the thermostat, went driving, and BOOM! Coolant going everywhere. I had a friend bring me an extra radiator and I did a road side swap.

When I got home, I tested the thermostat by dropping it in a pot of boiling water. It never moved at all. Not a happy camper.

YMMV
