PART NUMBER FOR PERKINS THERMOSTAT - John - 06-02-2005 05:52 I need the part number for the coolant thermostat used in the Perkins genset engine, on a '82 Wanderlodge. I called the local parts stores and got the standard question, What car does that go on? According to the Perkins manual it starts to open at 175-182 and is fully open at 200-205.

It looks like a V8 chevy thermostat, pretty standard and common. I had my wife look up the invoice and it lists the thermostat part number as "170", although it was stamped 180.... I took the thermostat housing also to match up a gasket and their gasket number was 1038-ST. Hope this helps.

I talked to the parts man at the Perkins dealer in Charleston and he said there were two listed one vented and the other unvented, I'm not familiar with the difference and it almost seems like he was looking at radiator caps instead of thermostats. What temperature does your genset get during hot days?

I've run it at temps in the teens in the winter. I just changed the thermostat in November, so I haven't had it in real hot weather yet. I don't expect it will deviate, based on what it did last summer with a stuck thermostat.
