question

[cblanche]

Have a 1998 6.5 tD engine in which I must replace the thermostats. I picked a pair of 195 degrees. There is a gasket surrounding the thermosta. One side of gasket is flat and other side is beveled. What side installs toward the engine housing?

Thanks!

Also - Is it in my best interest to plut a little permatex on the inside lip of the gasket?

Thanks!

Good Day!

You might want to post your question on the 6.5L Turbo Diesel forum. Dr. Lee knows all, but he doesn't own a truck like yours - his is a 1984 C10 with probably the nicest 6.2 ever built. If you post in the 6.5L Turbo Diesel forum, there are a few thousand of us who will see your topic, & hopefully help. ;)

You might want to click "my profile" at the top of this page & include your truck's information. Then you won't have to remember it every time you post. smile.gif
