Replaced mine at 140,088 miles with a Behr. Still had the original housing so replaced that too.
Now the Behr is quick to heat to the first thermostat mark 60C but takes some 6 or 7 minutes to get to 80C but will maintain 80C in sub 0 weather. Will replace with a Wahler. I understand both brands have an excellent reputation. I think I may have cooked it when the temperature went 3/4 of the way to the 100C mark while on cruise with the air blasting going up a 15 mile grade on Interstate 15. It was advised to turn off air conditioning at the base of the hill. I have always had the belief that you could reach 100C before and damage was done and that a thermostat or engine and it would fail open at 120C. I suspect that I have a partial fail resulting in a fast opening. New Wahler thermostat ordered now if it would only warm up outside.
