I am in the process if replacing my thermostat, hoses, temp sensors, and doing the upgraded bosch coolant pump, so figured I'd tear apart the old thermostat and post some internal pics in case anyone was interested.

Thread resurrection!

Has anyone replaced their 5.0L thermostat with a lower temp thermostat?
Where did you source the thermostat from if so?
interested in doing this.

From the looks of it it looks very similar to the 4.2sc 3-piece thermostat and I do have those in lower temperature.
