thermostats

[birdboat44]

Hello Birders. I need to change thermostats in my 87 pt 40. I would
like the temperature to run, an factory part number would be good to
have.Also i understand on trans, it is best to use factory filter. My
local DD dealer was very vague on thermostats an also trans filter.
Thanks

Jack: What makes you think you need to change the engine
thermostat's?? If you do change them out, just take one to the dealer
and get one just like it, no need for part number's. It's a fairly easy
job getting the thermostat's out biggest thing is draining down and
collecting the coolant before you begin. Factory transmission filter??
Sure, pick up one when you get your thermostat's. I always use fleet-
guard filter's , as long as you use a good name brand you'll dd fine
and as long as your at the Detroit store might as well get it there.

Hi Jack,

If you have a 6V92 like I do, then here are the part numbers from
DDiesel. You will need 2 seals, 2 gaskets and 2 thermostats. I went
with 170 degrees and ran around the desert this past summer with no
problems.

Gaskets are Part # 5117786 @ $1.51 each
170 degree thermostats are Part # 23503826 @ $39.65 each
and the seals are Part # 5132155 @ $12.97 each

Have the shop copy the part of the manual that shows where
everything
goes. That was a big help when I did mine.
