203* T-stat..where to buy..

[03_Turbo7.3]

When i was reading about this i seen they used it in the older trucks, could i not just get one from an older truck model and drop it in? curious on this part as i havent effed with the cooling system yet, my t-stat housing is starting to leak a bit and id like to replace it asap.

Can you just buy them from an auto parts store instead of waiting and ordering outta the states?

I see I don't think you'll find one locally. I think the stock ones are 192°-195°

Whats it do for your truck?

International design the 7.3 to run at 203* so I heard.

anybody ever question that international did design it for a 203 stat for a stock engine, but dont you think that a moddified one produces more heat?
