Translation:

No need to shout, and if you type slower your questions will hopefully make more sense to the reader. They charge that much because they can. Feel free to try the ~$24 alternative at your local parts store.

For what it is worth, I bought the same thermostat from the Dodge dealer for about $50. The local Cummins dealer wanted almost $70 for the same part. I really expected the dodge dealer to be higher but, go figure.

This is just from being around TDR for a while but do a search on thermostats. From what I remember the Cummins stats were worth the money after the hassle some TDR user's had. Just my $. 02
