IIRC they are only like $40 for new? But with only 200 miles on it it's brand new. I'd take it.

I have this in my PC

I don’t recall where I read that it was OK to run the short Stant 14252 thermostat but the proper Stant 14269 thermostat has a 1.77 in lenght vs. the short Stant 14252 that is 1.10

Was 94/95.
If the pump was replaced there is a good chance it will
need the long stat.
If the pump has a casted lower hose inlet (not bolt on)
it should use the short stat. Even saying that, its a 50/50 shot.
I have a casted inlet pump, that has the long stat.
There was a short run of them from IH.
