Thermostat ?
well my housing/thermostat gasket are leaking. Just replaced thermostat last winter with new oem and re-used housing. Lasted eight months
. Want to get ready for winter now
and was wandering if you can get 210 deg. thermostat at the local parts store? Instead of having to order and wait . And if i can get the 210 deg. around town can i buy a new oem housing and use itwith the 210 deg?
Thanks!

OEM housings seem to deteriate with age. Check some of the sponsers at top,some have very good replacements. Not too sure on 210deg thermo but some use 203 instead of 195. Do a search on here, there is a whale of great info.

On edit one more thing go to your local International dealer and get some new bolts for the thermostat housing. I had one of mine snap off in the water pump,I was changing it out anyhow, but I would highly recommend new hardware and a torque wrench for reinstallation.

I have 100K
I was going to install a ISSPRO water temp gauge but their temp sensor is too long to fit into the t-stat housing
going to try an Autometer branded one instead
I want to know the actual running temp of the engine, not just the dummy light form the stock gauges
