so i pulled my theromostat out to put my 180 in and they look nothing alike.

this is the one that came out of my truck:



and this is the one that i got from moes performance:






do i have the right one?

 

As long as the diameter is the same and has no fitment issue, it should work. Different manufacturers have different designs. The new one just has the spring inside the outer casing instead of being exposed.

 

ok kewl. preciate it bro! now let me go see if i can finish this crap! lol

 

thats not what my 180s have looked like. who makes it?

 

its made by mr. gasket.

 

hmm could be the right one. ive never used mr. gasket. as said before, as long as it fits, it should be ok

 

this is the package.

 

That's the right one.

 

sweet! thanks frog. AF had me worried! lol now i just gotta run to autozone and grab a new gasket cuz i tore my original one!

 

Running the same Mr.Gasket one as you and Yes was surprised too at the size of the stock one, just don't forget the rubber seal LAO (must have taken it off Pic prior). I did get a CEL and code two or three times during warm-up in cold weather (took too long to warm up) but since I got my e-fan it hasn't happened. I read somewhere the Jet which is more expensive has a pin hole or releif something that eliminated the code problem and perhaps thats why it cost more, but in my case I got 2 of the Mr.G's for what a Jet would cost and at the time nobody had them in stock anyways.

Sorry read your last re: gasket, might be dealer part?
