hey guys - going to replace thermostat housing etc whilst motor is out.
Visually the Dayco looks to be the better unit with fat o-rings, steel gasket etc but the spring action of the thermostat is extremely firm. The cheapie Tridon looks and feels exactly like the genuine type - thin o-rings and paper gasket too. Genuine item cost blows out because they sell all o-rings separately at $25 or more each!
I won't keep the ute forever but don't want failure in the next 3-4 years either. Anyone have feedback for either unit? thanks heaps
