Subject: DML: RE: Robertshaw 180 T-stats...GenIII V6ers only
To make it easy (and I have both of the Robertshaw books in front of me)
The 400 Series are the Carded Versions (Bubble Pack) and the 300 Series
are the boxed version (Cardboard Box).
The Replacements are as follows:
Generation-II: GT755-180
Extra Performance (HighFlow): 435-180/335-180 (Hard to find but am in
the process of ordering direct from Cooper)
Cooper Standard now owns RobertShaw (sold 4 times within the last 3
years).

Subject: DML: Robertshaw 180 T-stats...GenIII V6ers only
Before I go any further....lemme just say that I'd like GenIII V6ers
ONLY to reply..(unless you are 100 0x70616e55ositive that your
information is accurate...and you are willing to sacrifice your soul to
the dark one if it is false :-)..I went thru quite a hassle last time
when everyone responded to the question "Which Robertshaw stock
#"...some of you may recall this fiasco (sp) this past June. The help
was appreciated, but I ended up going to the autoparts store 3 times
before getting a correct sized t-stat.
anyhoo....I installed the Robertshaw GT-755-180(generation II) T-stat.
This is not the 'balanced', 'high-flow' thermostat though...but at least
it fit! I need to find a way to determine the high-flow, extra
performance Robertshaw stock number which works for the GenIII V6.
I believe Jon made a post awhile back which listed the 400-180 as the
correct stock number (per Autozone's site)...I've been searching the net
in vain in an attempt to verify this elswhere...to no avail. Also, when
I checked the DML guru site (aka Bernd's Speedtweaks)...I saw no
reference to a 400 series T-stat.
If there is any GenIII V6 Dak owners who has installed a Robertshaw 300
or 400 series T-stat in thier Dak....AND...they can confirm the stock
number...I would really appreciate the info. If not, I am also trying to
find a site which might provide this info.
Thanks all. Like I said, I appreciate the great responses from everyone
(this is what makes the DML great), but there was a great degree of
discrepancy in the stock numbers that were being thrown around last
time......ultimately it was apparent that not all Daks take the same
T-stat...even within the GenIII daks.
xtra info: I physically attempted to install the 330-180 and the 370-180
and found the base of both to be too large to fit the V6 T-stat port. As
this series T-stat is superior to the "GT" series...I hope to finally
resolve this.
Here are some illustrations which show the 'body style' of the 300
series

and some additional info on 'balanced' t-stats:

TIA

p.s. Jon, I went to the Autozone site and was unable to access a list
of Robertshaw stock numbers. However you did it...godbless ya....cause
that site was not very user friendly. It kept automating the process and
"choosing" the standard autozone stock number for my Dak..grrr. :-)
