Yep, still talking trucks!That depends on whether the pump has been changed before. You need to remove the stat housing to know for sure. The long stat will not fit in a 95 pump.
If you need the short stat, Lucky you, the 203º stat for the short housing is available just about anywhere for $10 or less.

You will need to measure it, you can't really see/feel it unless you looked before the pump was installed. The short stat will install in the long stat housing OK but not the other way around. There is about 1/2 clearance from the bottom of the long stat to the seat in the housing when it's cold. I can check to be sure on the measurement.
I would get a new inlet housing (no leaks) and then take a look in there. I've seen a few PSD's that went for years with the wrong stat w/o engine damage so you should be OK for a week or two. Just did one yesterday....3 years on that one. Actually I did 2 water pumps...mine went bad too
2 coolant baths in one day! LOL!

Do they sell aluminum inlet housings? I know the parts store here does not. Mines rusting pretty bad and I would just prefer get one that wont rust. But good point, I'm not pullin it apart til I get the new housing.

Rog, you're right, forgot about that. 
The short housing is for a 99 and up. He can get the long housing there too. I got my shorts and longs all mixed up between the stats and housings

Pumps that have the lower hose inlet that is
bolted on use Long T-stat.
Pumps that are 1 piece casted, "lower hose inlet"
can be long or short T-stat.
On the billet. Some have just added a short hose and coupling.

Another way to tell the 94/95 short stem t'stat pumps from the 96/03 long stem t'stat pumps is by the threads on the 5/8 hose barb for the return line. The early pumps had tapered pipe threads and later ones used a straight thread o-ringed fitting.

Cannot finrd reciept for the pump. I'll call them when they open to see if they can look at my acct and tell me which one I bought.
My stat # is - 14252. It says Stant 205F. To me thats 205 degrees farenheit right? Maybe that is my culprit.

Ok, just researched the stats. My new one is a 205*, old one is a 203*. That is probably the cause of my temp gauge going up right? I'm scared to run this in Florida being as we get 100* summer days.
