Autozone sometimes sells Walher T-stats, sometimes the Duralast brand, sometimes Behr. You have to know which one you got. I think I have a Behr on mine, been a long time since I replaced it.

If that was what's causing the overheating issue then get the right one. When my T-stat got stuck open I would cruise close to 100C on the highway, which was weird because of the added air flow that should reduce the operating temp. Now without any accessories on my gauge reads a hair below 80C which is VERY surprising, as before it would usually be a hair over 80C. I've never replaced the T-stat between those times.
