Thermostat housing.....

[HRDROKN]

Anyone have a thought as to what I'm missing to get this all together....

Thermostst housing.

Is the thermostat supossed to fit down insid the housing? As this one does not.

Any idea as to which seal would be correct?

:what:

The engine lift bracket without it the gasket is too tall. Rich

Oops I think the thermostat is too big also it should go into the groove on the housing.Rich

"autozone" stats that I have tried where half the price but didnt fit because they were too big.. is this a Cummins or aftermarket stat?

just had mine apart last week. seem to think there was a gasket that went in the groove in the waterneck, and then the thermostat, and then the one with the step in it fits thru the lift bracket.

Agreed... this must be the wrong thermostat, I need one with a smaller diameter to fit down inside the housing. Since I'm not using the lift bracket... I would guess that there is an application for this?

Looking at a first gen book.... It only shows the one step gasket. Wonder if this was a change with the second gen trucks?

And there is no telling what my thermostat housing came off of... I had a basket of parts!

Either way I'm starting to see the picture... just not sure what application for the correct parts.

if you ave a first gen t stat it smaller then the 2gen

The housing could have came off a large Ford F-series? IDK... I ordered the t-stat from Geno's for a second gen truck and that obviously is no t correct.

:thankyou2:

So if I can figure what application to order a shorter seal, I should be set!
