This doesn't look good!

Installed the NAPA 195* thermostat this afternoon. I started seeing circulation into the top of the radiator at about 190*(according to the temp gauge on the truck). Cab is a little warmer, now, but I noticed the fan clutch kicks in and out constantly. Might be time for a new fan clutch also.

I almost froze to death driving to Billings last night.(15* and no heat.)

vw used to have a gasoline heater in some of its cars back whenever.
Maybe look in junkyards and convert one to fit the truck.

I also remember freezing to death in my VW.

I noticed my clutch fan in the bronco went bad accidentally, but thankfully a few months back. I was doing some carb work with the truck running, dropped a wrench and instinctively reached for it...arm went right through the fan. After that...realized the fan was essentially free spinning, and I could stop it with a finger.

Old thread, actually really old thread, but has anybody found a reliable replacement thermostat, 192 deg F, that works for the 351M/400? I've tried the NAPA THM 297, with mixed results. All the old reliables have disappeared......

Tim has the rights to and is reproducing the old Robertshaws, but a bit pricey...lie $30-40. He's posting them all the time on my pages.

Thanks for the info, Ben. I appreciate that. I assume you mean Tim Meyer?

I have a thermostat coming from Tim Meyer.

The one and only. The advent of facebook doesn't require memorized unique user handles any more, and forget that on the forums.

Flowkooler is selling these again, now. I am assuming they are just a distributor for Tim?

I'm not sure to be honest with you, but I'd imagine so.
