I got mine from Toyota. Part #90916-03083. Temp range 180 F - 203 F or 82 C to 95 C. The stock one is 88 C or @ 190 F

I've got one too but I've since read that it's not real good to use one, something about never getting up to temp in cooler climes summertime I think they are fine tho

got it at napa

i think at autozone they have like a 160 or something would that be a bad idea to run it colder than stock t-stat temps

yes

ESPECIALLY on stock ecu.

On standalone it would be beneficial but on stock it is pointless.
