It seems that the dealer sent the proper Tstat for the newer housing that has the stat separate from the housing. He ordered a new housing and got everything back together-

The last communication was that they were still having problems with the cooling, and I thought that it was still because of the Tstat problem. Since the car is back together, they were having problems with it overheating. Since it has been sitting overnight, I looked in the coolant tank and found the level to be low. After adding about a gallon of water, it is up to the proper level now. It probably had an air bubble and that is why they thought the Tstat was not opening. I hope to hear back from them later on, and that all is well......Rich
