vs
Thermostat MISHIMOTO or Motorcraft
Reviews
I requested they use only Motorcraft thermostat, because I knew there was a part # update. Threw the updated Motorcraft one in and it solved the issue.
Pros: solved issue, updated part

Ford
Soon as i bought Motorcraft all was normal again
Pros: all was normal

Make sure you use the motorcraft thermostat.
Pros: highly recommended
Go with the Motorcraft thermostat as it has a rubber seal on the outside edge.
Pros: has rubber seal
I replaced the thermostat from a non-OEM to Motorcraft about a month ago, and the only difference has been the speed at which the dial moves from higher temps to its normal positon.
Pros: faster dial movement

Forget about the Mishimoto thermostat. The OEM thermostat is way more reliable and does the job.
Cons: less reliable than OEM

I put the mishimoto 160* in hot water to test it out. Lo and behold, wax started seeping out.
Cons: wax seeping out, failed test
I had 2 fail back to back. The first lasted 3 months, a couple thousand miles, the 2nd lasted 5 weeks, also a couple thousand miles. Left me stranded. 275 degree spike followed by coolant puking.

Mileage: 3218 km
