Any idea when I can buy a 195 degree thermostat for a 12 valve Cummins?

My local Napa tells me all they can get is the 180 degree thermostat
unless I switch to a performance part. They tell me they can't supply me
with the part numbers for a performance part.

Andy ideas?

I recommended Napa because they are the most likely place to help (at least
here they are). They should be able to pull a 180° thermostat off the shelf
for your truck, then match it up to a 195°. Places like Autozone don't seem
to be willing to do that. If it isn't in their computer you are screwed.

What year is your truck?

autozone hires highschool kids who dont know the differance between a stator
and a spark plug.

atleast thats the case in this neck of the woods.

Real Trucks don't NEED spark plugs.

Gates P/N 33889 will probably work. Check for interference when installing
and watch the temp gauge for a while.

Not really... all show the OE 180°F model. Ayn particular reason you want
to go with a hotter 'stat?
