IIRC, you had mentioned that the dual thermostats was to combat overheating from low flow. If it had only one thermostat would it have had a lot less space eating extra stuff in the way and been any...

That has to be one of those "what were they thinking" kind of design!

Kind of like having to pull the engine to do routine maintenance items on some of the mid engine exotics.

It certainly looks on the cold side, and slow. When the thermostats go bad, it is usually because they don't close all the way, which moves the whole curve slower and colder. You get the symptoms...

Would it be easier to just remove the entire housing from the heads? The pix I saw seemed to show those bolts straight out the rear, assuming the housing could come out the rear.

I will certainly bet that cleaning the gaskets surfaces on the housing will be a tough reach.

Yikes! 5-6 hours for a thermostat change is totally insane. That has to be right in the same area of absurdity as a lot of the heater core changes, only worse because it is considered a maintenance...

Doghouse removable isn't too bad, at least on our later model, but I have always had at the seats out when I did it. Not sure if it can come out without moving them.

Your engine must sit a bit...

It sounds like they must have had some cooling issues with the earlier 6.5 liter diesels. Details and timing of the changes here:

I can't speak specifically to Gates thermostats, but I gave up on aftermarket thermostats many years ago after too much trouble with them. Bad temp control, both from setpoint and swing variance. ...

That would be the getting to be normal "make the customer feel good" gauge :mrgreen: that you see too much of these days. They are kind of like an idiot light with a needle.

I agree, but there are engine/vehicle combos that will overheat. The Chevy 6.0 in a van is one of them. They are short of radiator and airflow, though, not an engine issue. They seem to fine in...

That is a very often asked question, especially on the cold side.
