Default Does a Fbody T-Stat fit a Truck Waterpump?

Long story, my old T-Stat started leaking so I went and bought a new one from Oreillys, supposedly stock, now my truck runs 210-215, which it used to run 195-199 all day long, so I want to get a different one, and I was wondering would a F-body T-Stat fit cause they make a 180* one... Oh my truck is an 2004 if that matters, with a removable T-Stat.

Thanks

I think it was the regular 195*, but it is about 20* hotter...

Me too. The stocker fits an F-bod pump...I assume the other way around will do too.

They fit, had one in myn before I went with the ewp and moroso water restrictor. Most of the Fbodys are non removable and come with the whole housing tho. You can get replacement 180's, I think Simple Quick has some.

But you have to order a truck T-stat, a Fbody one you can get for autozone...
