Few pics

First one is our little man a couple of days ago when he had a fever and konked out on me, not truck related but a great pic nonetheless. Second pic is of a beast F350 at the dealership where I got my thermostat neck housing--lighting was terrible. Third is the thermostat housing neck on our stove, wifey appreciated that.

I think they look nice on the 2wd where you can get a tucked look. But on a 4x4, a maller rim with a larger tire has always looked best to me. Maybe I just come from the old school of thinking, or perhaps I am too redneck, either way, that trucks nice if it has different wheels. LOL

Todd, I might need one of those necks. I am switching to the 203degreee stat on my '97.
Does anyone know if I will need a new neck or not?
Thanks,
Fletch

I think i would go the other direction if i had a dually.
One huge tire and rim in the rear slammed. Give it a pro street look.

BTW----Nice Truck!

if you are replacing the tstat replace the neck too. i think that they are only 30$ and its worth getting rid of the rusty/pitted one in hopes of a better seal when you put it back together

The o-ring with thermostat plus a skim coat of silicon on the neck.
