Need Help Sourcing a Thermostat Housing

[johnnyapollo]

The Thermostat Housing no my 2001 VX has failed. Anyone have a source for this? I think I read at some point that there's a drop-ship parts company that's comparable to the place in MO where Merlin worked? Do you think this part is readily available?

I remember reading something that said Jack Miller (in Kansas City) was a good source now. They are a "plaza" of multiple dealers like Kia/Subaru/etc... Googling their number gets: 888-918-6252. I can vouch that they've been around forever in KC...since I live here. I also talked to their service guy a couple times over the years and he is knowledgeable. Haven't talked to the parts guy(s) though.

IsuzuParts.com shows the thermostat "neck" for $108....here (http://www.isuzuparts.com/2001-isuzu-vehicross-base-gas_3.5_v_6-transmission_automatic_4-cooling_system-cooling_system-pipe_water_in_8971318842-item/). That implies it might still be available to order...if you can't source a used one.

Hope that helps.
