Turn it around and look inside the barrel,there should be numbers stamped there.You'll have to look real close to spot them,but i'll lay odds that's where you'll find the thermostats operating temperature.These are the only numbers stamped on this thing.
My guy is putting In a 190 degree one and gonna try that.Turn it around and look inside the barrel,there should be numbers stamped there.You'll have to look real close to spot them,but i'll lay odds that's where you'll find the thermostats operating temperature.
As stated i think somebody has swapped the thermostat to a 180 prior to you owning the truck.
These days it's almost a mistake to swap out a working thermostat for a new one,as new ones are basically garbage
If it was working good,throw it back in
Don't throw your old t-stat away,rinse it off and throw it in a baggy while it's still wet,and keep it on hand. Just cause he's putting a new thermostat in it,doesn't mean it'll be any good,or last for any length of time.My guy is putting In a 190 degree one and gonna try that.
Some last,but these days,it seems like more fail with-in a year then the ones that last a couple years.I wasn’t truthfully. The coolant had never been changed in 10 years and was disgusting. So I had him change it out maybe 2 months ago and the radiator had a small crack after he cleaned everything out and was leaking so we changed that and I was just like go ahead and do the thermostat as well not knowing it had a 85c one in there already so that’s yes where my problems started.Don't throw your old t-stat away,rinse it off and throw it in a baggy while it's still wet,and keep it on hand.

If you get a year out of a new thermostat,go buy a lottery ticketSome last,but these days,it seems like more fail with-in a year then the ones that last a couple years.
Why are you so hung up on changing a working thermostat out for a new one
If it was my truck,i'd reinstall a known working thermostat and go from there.I wasn’t truthfully. The coolant had never been changed in 10 years and was disgusting.

Motorad owns Gates as far as know,and the Gates thermostats don't seem to be a good quality as they used to be,ever since Motorad took them overReplace thermostat. Personally, I like to use a 190° Gates brand. Burp the system
Now that's one i've never seen,i'll have to keep that tip in mind about the Ford thermostatAfter bad experiences with several aftermarket thermostats, I'm running an OEM Ford Mustang track pack 180* thermostat in mine. It's 2mm smaller diameter, but the gasket takes up that difference just fine. Other dimensions are very close and it fits right in. Part number 7L3Z-8575-D
The Ford thermostat has been better all around and more consistent than even the OEM Mopar was. EVIC usually sits at 179*, and varies only 3 or 4 degrees
So my Mechanic did put in full concentrate. Been using him for years so I trust his work but I don’t think he would just fill it up -----
I'd like to know more about this tstat, so it fits in the opening and the gasket for our tstats? The opening in the tstat is big enough to flow enough coolant for the 5.7? Is the bottom plunger looks to be about the same length down as our tstats?After bad experiences with several aftermarket thermostats, I'm running an OEM Ford Mustang track pack 180* thermostat in mine.

Looks like you can get it on Rockauto for the price of of one of the Motorad garbage tstats
The Motorcraft one you listed looks like it could be it.I found this one to Corey.
I can't really find anything called the Track Pack T-stat.
I did find these one on Rock Auto,are either the same as the one you found?
Also found this 190 MotorCraft.
Put Ford in front of Track Pack Thermostat......I can't confirm this 1 will work on the Hemi though.......I found this one to Corey.

Reische's latest 3rd generation Ford-4D thermostat has been upgraded with modern features like a rubberized diaphragm and a larger heat motor. It's a direct-fit unit with proper bypass control so you're guaranteed maximum efficiency from your cooling system. All components are mfg by your OEM supplier making this the very best available for your application.
Whether you are using an aftermarket radiator or not, this thermostat will provide the best possible heat dissipation from your setup and even deliver better overall performance than our competitor's 160° thermostats. Reische believes the 170° opening temp is the ideal balance for high performance engines, providing high flow to your radiator by mid-180 temps along with good all season performance. With proper fan settings your coolant temps in cool weather will be in the 170s and in hot weather the 180s, giving those running high levels of timing and/or boost added protection against engine-damaging detonation as well as maximum hp.
All Reische Performance thermostats are backed by a 5 YEAR WARRANTY.
