A standard GM thermostat is about a plain vanilla a product as you can imagine, and is about as time tested as any part still in use from the golden era of GM manufacturing. This intake manifold mounted design is fundamently the same part as was used in virtually every GM 6 and 8 cylinder engine going back as far as the 1950's. It is that well understood. DO NOT PAY $57 for a thermostat of this design. Just get this one! :-) The only questions I had about this are were; "does it open at the rated temperature" and "are the dimensions accurate" and "are the materials of acceptable quality?" The part appears to meet spec. and the dimensions are accurate. There is copper and brass in the right places and the design is the time tested arrangement. The thermostat cracks open at 190 and is substantially open by 195. Gasket fits tight and seals correctly with no issues. Note that this part was manufactured in Israel. Somehow I'm hard pressed to imagine a company in a country like Israel gearing up to produce GM thermostats, but that's what the packaging says. Glad to buy a part made somewhere besides in the far East. A good t-stat at a good price. Note that this is exactly the same t-stat model and brand that you can buy at a local convenience store big-box auto parts store, only delivered right to your house and for almost $24.00 less. Yes, for exactly the same brand/country of origin/ part number as at big box. Duh. Get this one. Five stars. no issues. Almost dinged it because it said country of origin listed as "U.S.A." in the listing, but package says "Made in Israel". :-) Ultimately decided that was splitting too many hairs.

Work great , come with gasket , perfect fit.what else could I say . price is right 👍

ON MY 2004 GMC SIERRA V6 WORKING. PLEASED.

These are super simple to install. Fits well and works with 2001 Ford F150. I don't know if it is any better than stock because I didn't do any performance testing, but at the very least, it works just as good.

Looks well made. I ended up just using the gasket from this new one on my old thermostat cause I was nervous about this one. It was a tiny bit shorter and the bottom spring wasn’t as strong as my old one. With winter coming up I want that hot heat.

1997 GMC 1500 4.3

The thermostat is sticky, my dash gauge tells me that the heat level goes up to 200 and down then drops down to 170 it keep cycling while driving, It should stay at a constant temp. Sorry to say that I will buy a name brand to replace this faulty thermostat.

Worked as should

There was no issues with this , fit my navigator . And it's nice to see my temp gauge above the c line . Thanks . Would definitely purchase agian . If needed .

Se adapta perfecto a Mustang V6 3.8L 1996

Replaced my sons old thermostat with this one and now he as heat just in time for winter!

Todo bien, instalado en Ford f150, 1998, v6
