195 degee thermostat

Napa.

Not really... all show the OE 180°F model. Ayn particular reason you want to go with a hotter 'stat?

WVO conversion.

My local Napa tells me all they can get is the 180 degree thermostat unless I switch to a performance part. They tell me they can't supply me with the part numbers for a performance part.

Andy ideas?

I recommended Napa because they are the most likely place to help (at least here they are). They should be able to pull a 180° thermostat off the shelf for your truck, then match it up to a 195°. Places like Autozone don't seem to be willing to do that. If it isn't in their computer you are screwed.

What year is your truck?

autozone hires highschool kids who dont know the differance between a stator and a spark plug.

atleast thats the case in this neck of the woods.

'96 2500.

Gates P/N 33889 will probably work. Check for interference when installing and watch the temp gauge for a while.

Thanks very much. I'll give it a try.....
