Wassup guys,
very simple question here. My mechanic says my Thermostat when out & needs to be replace. So I was looking to purchase a replacement and notice they had different brand thermostat for the SC400. The brands I saw for my SC400 were GATES, STANT, and BECK/ARNLEY. So I want to make sure I purchase one that is the most durable. Are there any of these you all would recommend most or do they all pretty much operate the same & have the same lifespan ??

I say go OEM as well. For such a cheap part that could potentially screw a lot of things up, why not buy the insurance? Not only do you have to worry about POS t-stats but a lot of aftermarket ones are not the proper temperature.
Spend the extra 10 bucks and buy a part you know will work.
