Need part#
Sorry guys but the search didnt help at all. I need the part# for the upper radiator hose to go around the belt instead of through it.
Also, where to buy the 203 thermostat.

Yea, I bought a stock one as well. Im getting ready for ELC changeover. I will be ordering the billet housing though. No way I was paying over 40(with s&h) for that thing regardless of benefits. When I hit the lottery I might! Got my stock one for 11 bucks.
Hook it, I'll pull it.

The only thing with the stat, make sure it has the long tube. There has been a problem with someone buying from a parts that got the short tube stat and had heating problems.

Good point Rick. IIRC the early PSD's needed the short stat and sometimes the parts houses don't know there are 2 different ones.

and I can get the OEM housing for about $17. The $45 for the billet is not worth it to me.

Mixed reviews on whether it does anything or not, along with the price, swayed me away from the 203 stat. Joey at Terminator Engineering also recommends against it if you run big oil to help keep oil temps down. 2x the cost at very little benefit doesn't make sense to me.

No sir. Its been on for like 6 months or so. It was the cheapest I could find at the time. Ford wanted 30 bucks for it and I couldnt justify buying it from Ed online. After shipping it wouldve been almost the same price at the dealer! The guy behind the counter gave me the hardest time. For some reason I mentioned I had single alt setup and he said "are you sure you want this? are you sure?". Just give him the part # and pay!

Update
Just to update and post some pics cause we all like pics. The part# that Bill posted for the dual alt is the one, and it comes with new clamps on it. Went with the OEM thermostat and housing. Also put on a new belt since the one on it was the original but still didnt have any cracks and with 138k, she served me well.
