Who makes the Billet Thermostat Housing?

Who makes a Billet Thermostat Housing to replace the OEM stamped steel one? I'm gonna replace my serpentine belt this week and want to change out the OEM thermostat housing while I am doing that. I just don't recall who has them.....

That would be Mr Bob at Dieselsite and he is real proud of them too!!! I just went with a new housing from Powerstrokeshop.com for $18 or so. Make sure you get the right O ring for it, not sure if he is including the O ring now or not!! I wouldn't waste your money on the 203 thermostat though, actually I might waste your money, but not mine, lol!!!

If you're going to be changing your belt you also should get the upper rad hose for a dual alt set up, this way it won't go through the fan belt but over it!! Not one of Ford's greatest designs!!

This would have been nice to know. Didn't know they were available, just changed mine Thursday. My luck.

That's right - I had forgotten about that. I need to do that also.....Thanks! Yeah, I always just stook with the stock thermostat - actually I had seen a few folks switch from the 203 back to stock.......
