WHOA!
You can't just go to your local parts store and buy a 203 that will fit your waterpump, anything you can find will be to short and won't close off the bypass.
The only place you can get one is from Bob Riley at Dieselsite
http://www.dieselsite.com/index.asp?...ROD&ProdID=186
That page also has a good explanation of the difference between the long and short t-stats and what happens if you use the wrong one.

You can get a 203° stat but as Rodney said it will be too short. The older trucks had the 203° factory but ours with the longer shaft need to be bought from dieselsite.
Good catch Rodney.

Sorry guys, didn't realize that you had to have 25 post before you were allowed to have a signature. Shoot.. I made mine on a word document and just copied and pasted it on, because I couldn't find where you set it up at, hell now I know why I couldn't find it. My apologies.
