I have run Robert Shaw T-states exclusively for about 10 years now, I used to always change the T-stat when ever I changed Fluids or hoses until about 15 years ago. That's when I got a succession of junk new T-stats from my local auto parts store.
My mothers car had no overheating issues, I changed the hoses coolant, and T-stat, she drove it about 10 miles from my house and it overheated. After geting back home I discovered the "new" T-stat would not open fully. Put the old one back in and she never had another issue with it. Had several customers cars do simalure things. Stopped using Stat and NAPA brand T-stats after that summer. I am sure that other brand premiem or high flow stats would work also, I have just never used them.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
