jmoore4294 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Delco, gates, or stant? Just put in a new radiator and water pump, time for a new thermostat. Quote
rockfangd Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 i would say stant. then delco, then gates but really they are all the same Quote
MonteCarloDude Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 i would say stant. then delco, then gates but really they are all the same x2. Quote
digitaloutsider Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Stant makes the Delco thermostats. Quote
jmoore4294 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Posted August 1, 2008 So, you're really just paying 3 or 4 extra bucks for the delco name? That...kinda sucks. Quote
spiderw31 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 I dunno if any one in particular is better, but I always use stant, and never have had problems. Quote
sl3196 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 Never had a problem with stant either. I always use the superstat by them, I think they cost a few bucks more then the regular ones. Quote

Gates does the same thing, they'll have the part number and then they'll have an S at the end for the "good" ones. If you look at each one you can see that the cheap ones are made of a cheap metal (galvanized I think) and the good ones are made with stainless steel. There is a difference in price but definitely not worth the risk, I have had a couple of the cheap ones fail. Quote
5speedz34 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 Bottom line with parts is just make sure you buy a good brand name and don't go cheap. Quote
jmoore4294 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Report Posted August 2, 2008 Well yeah. That's why I'm asking. The more expensive one is delco, but if stant makes delco, then I can just get a superstat from them. I was just wondering cause I know some people know parts better than I do. Quote
5speedz34 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 Stant is a good one. That's who I would go with. Quote
1990lumina Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 Whoever makes MotoRad is what Ibuy lol - probably the shittiest ones but good enough for my POS Quote
jmoore4294 Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Posted August 4, 2008 Does anyone else think $10 shipping for a thermostat from rockauto is a bit much? LOL! Quote
