[FONT=&quot]THERMOSTAT VALVES THAT FIT THE MODEL 001:

[/FONT]​

[FONT=&quot]THE H.D.S. MODEL 001 WAS DESIGNED FROM THE START TO BE EASY TO SERVICE AND TO USE A COMMON AND EASILY OBTAINABLE THERMOSTAT VALVE. THE VALVE WE CHOSE IS FROM THE CHRYSLER HEMI V-8 SERIES OF GASOLINE ENGINES; ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR V-8 ENGINES CURRENTLY MANUFACTURED TODAY. THIS THERMOSTAT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR YEARS TO COME, AND IS AVAILABLE IN AT LEAST 2 WARMER TEMPERATURE OPENINGS THAN WAS OFFERED IN THE POORLY MADE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT THERMOSTAT ASSEMBLY. ANY THERMOSTAT VALVE THAT FITS THE 5.7L, THE 6.1L, THE 6.2L, AND THE 6.4L HEMI V-8 ENGINES WILL FIT IN THE MODEL 001 ASSEMBLY.

[FONT=&quot]THE FOLLOWING ARE 2 LISTS OF THERMOSTAT VALVES THAT WILL PROPERLY FIT INTO THE HOT DIESEL SOLUTIONS MODEL 001 ENGINE THERMOSTAT HOUSING. THESE LISTS FEATURE COMPANIES THAT MANUFACTURE THE HEMI V-8 ENGINE THERMOSTAT, OR ARE RE-BRANDED THERMOSTAT VALVES FROM OTHER MANUFACTURERS.

[FONT=&quot]THE “A” LIST IS FOR O.E. REPLACEMENT VALVES THAT OPEN UP AT 203 DEGREES. THIS IS THE TEMPERATURE RATING I RECOMMEND FOR MOST APPLICATIONS OF THE LIBERTY CRD.

[FONT=&quot]HARDWARE FOR ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF YOUR MODEL 001:

[/FONT]​

[FONT=&quot]IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT IT IS POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE TO LOSE MOUNTING AND/OR ASSEMBLY HARDWARE. GOD FORBID, IT IS EVEN POSSIBLE TO BREAK ONE OF THE STUDS ON A MODEL 001, IF YOU HAPPEN TO RUN OVER IT WITH A TRUCK; OR, MORE LIKELY, STRIP THE THREADS OF THE STUDS BECAUSE YOUR SON IS EXTREMELY HAM-******, OR HAS CROSS THREADED THE NUT. LISTED BELOW IS ALL OF THE HARDWARE I HAVE USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE HOT DIESEL SOLUTIONS MODEL 001 ENGINE THERMOSTAT ASSEMBLY. IT WILL BE EASIER AND LESS PROBLEMATIC SOURCING YOUR OWN HARDWARE IF ANY OF THE ABOVE UNFORTUNATE EVENTS OCCUR TO YOU. ABOUT THE ONLY THINGS YOU WOULD HAVE TO GET FROM ME – ASIDE FROM MACHINING A PART YOURSELF – IS THE HOUSING, THE CAP, AND THE TWO ALUMINUM HOSE BARBS THREADED INTO THE HOUSING.
