[lupey6.5]

i have a 94 blazer and i can't find the 180 deg tsats. robertshaw used to make them but i have been told that they were bought by stant and the are no longer hi-flo i would be happy finding one that is less than the oem 195 deg. does anyone have a stockpile of these robershaw 354 series tsats? or know who does?

I am also still looking as the Autozone can't help me and neither will NAPA or other stores. I keep checking Kennedy's website but no luck anywhere.

As of 2-3 days ago, JK was out of stock on the 180F 354 series Robertshaw & by email, said he wasn't ready to reorder them. I bought one of his 195f's (that's what he runs).
I am also ordering a 180F to try out from Murrays Discount Auto, a small mid west chain.
The person in charge of these products for the OEM, Cooper Automotive is Christy Paine 248 754 2363 kpaine@cooperstandard.com , who emailed me the following:
"Stephen,
At this time the only retailer that offers
our thermostat is Murray's Discount Auto Stores. If there is not one in your area they can take orders over the phone. Please contact:
Steve Shadoian
248-891-2210
sshodoian@murraysdiscount.com "

They don't take credit cards or do CODs, so you have to send them a check or money order first.
Hope this helps.

Got the 195f T-stat from John Kennedy, went to Checkers & got a gasket, & installed it. Man what a difference. I don't have the 97 cooling mod dual T-stat set up (or high output water pump (yet), but I wanted to start things going in that direction.
Drove to Colorado Springs & the gauge stayed 20 degrees cooler almost all of the way (not pulling) at 75+ mph.
Seems like the 180 might be too low?
