M272 V6 Thermostat DIY Replacement Kit

Common failure item. Change at 40,000 to 50,000 miles to avoid problems. Video Instructions included.

Failure is more common and happens more often with these thermostats due to the internal temperature probe that goes down through the center of the housing. It is much better to replace this as a preventative measure to prevent engine overheating.
