In the service manual it states that the TS and housing must be replaced as a unit, that the TS is not servicable. It seems that thermostats are available seperatly so what gives on this. Can I replace the thermostat with one from a parts store?
Any help on this would be great.

Thanks,

Joe,In short,Yes you can just replace only your thermostat,and yes you can get it from a local auto store.But I would advice you if your Vette is a daily driver,I would get the fans programed so they come on at a lower temp.If it is not a daily driver just changing the ts will lower your coolant temp. about 10-15 degree.I will be doing this soon,but I will also get the fans to come on sooner,mine is a daily driver.The stop and go traffic in the summer is a bastard on the motor,and I like to run the AC.Good luck with it ,O how was the track?Rob
