Yeah you should start your GM Alternator thread.

There is the 115 AL129X Bosch up grade.

"Alternator" 115 Amp Bosch AL129X works in 123s!

there is also a Bosch 143 and 150 amp alternators.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

On my 617.950 it doesn't open until coolant reaches 200°F, which is just about never...

Alright! That will be my goal tonight Ill go take some pics!

After a drive to frys, i opened my hood and my oil cooler was hot!

I was just worried that one of my lines was clogged or something. Thank you all for the help! This forum is the best tool in my tool box!

With oil pressure of around 100 psi, that's not real likely.

true...

You are correct. it states in the FSM for the OM617.950...

On engine 617.950 (model 116) a 95C, 204.8F thermostat
has been installed in oil filter up to engine end no.
019718. here, thermostat control starts at approx.
95C, 204.8F and ends at approx. 110C, 230F.

I sometimes block the radiator to force the thermostat open and then drain the cooler.
