The actual quote is...., "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten!"

Not sure if it's same source, but I have this qoute (John Ruskin, 1896) on my office wall...

"The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot.
It can not be done.
If you deal with the lowest bidder, it's well to add something for the risk you run.
And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better!"

You guys are welcome to call either of the parts sources that I mentioned in my previous post to verify the prices I listed. The 180° t-stat is considerably cheaper ($31.51 as of today @ Cummins So. Plains); however, my truck came with a 190° t-stat and the newer version is a different design and considerably more expensive. I believe the design was changed due to failures in the older model. I have thought about changing to a 180° but I believe the hotter units are designed to make the truck run more efficiently and with less pollutants.

I have heard that a hotter thermostat, to a point, wil cause a diesel to run more efficiently.
