[Bunyan]

I need thermostat part # 05015708AC. Dealership wants 93. 00 for one. Anywhere else to buy one,cheaper? Sorry about the spelling. Soundslike tweety bird.

I went online & got one, I think $15. I stayed with 196 degree, the gauge reads 180 to 185? I paid $100 for a tstat, water pump, anti-freeze & distilled water.

The thermostat I have listed is unique. It is a replacement for the original. It satisfies TSB 09-008-02. OEM part only. I found one in Colorado for 68. 00 delivered. Thanks guys, Ron
