You can get a 160 thermostat out of JEGS in the LS1/LT1/TPI section for like $24.99. Im pretty sure its SLP brand. That way its brand spankin new with no surprises. I have been thinking about one for my truck.

It has to do with where the stat is mounted. I believe 99-02, maybe 03, not completely sure, use the one with the housing. It bolts on to the water pump and the radiator hose attaches directly to it. I think....but am not 100% sure....that the newer style ones without the housing go into the engine block somewhere, whereas the ones with the housing bolt onto the water pump. I think you need the one with the housing as well on your 2000.
