Where did you get it from?

 

Motorad 439-180, sold and shipped by Amazon. GReeves (forum user I think) posted in the comments ( ). I assumed it would be the correct tstat. Probably defective I'm thinking.

 

I bought one also they come from a **** company called thepartsmonster and they are rude and sent me the wrong part the first time and then it took them 31 days to get me the right t-stat.

 

Dude a thermostat won't make your vehicle warm up faster! A BAD one will make it warm up slower! I'm thinking your old one was partially stuck open. Also 200* is no where near the omg my truck is screwed shut it down shut it soen

 

Who was that directed at? You got to quote it so folks know who your speaking to lol

 

I am thinking something is wrong with those stats because my temps were running 194 on highway then i flushed coolant out replaced stat with the motorad 439-180 and now i am running at 197.6 on highway. Yes i bled the system correctly this would not be my first coolant flush so something has to be wrong with the stat right?

I know i am not at crazy temps or anything just not where it should be with a true 180° stat

 

Could have been your OLD spring being old was weaker than this new one. Also that's a very tiny tiny difference

And if 180* termostat meant your vehicle never went over 180*..

I don't know what to say, your radiator isn't 100% effecient.

Yeah i don't know man my truck has been serviced exactly to the T how land rover says they need to be maintained. So i am thinking its the thermostat because i was not running hot by any means just wanted to try the ""180""

 

I ordered that same Tstat from the parts monster and installed it and my temps came down 10-15 degrees. I have heard people getting bad tstats from them though so..

 

What were they before and where are they now?
