Default Thermostat

Where can I purchase one for an '87 5.0?

I am going to do a radiator flush and was told to do a complete job I need to replace this.

Do I ?

Any parts store will have one. Can't hurt to replace it. Are you having an overheating problem??

mmmm overheating not really... THe only time that would worry me was when I got stuck in traffic... I have a griffen radiator..


Do you know where I could find the thermostat and also on a coolant flush how do I flush out the waterpump/block?

Why even run a Thermo? I'd just go with out one. It's not like we need to heat cars up any faster in Florida?
