Need help re: Dealer thermostat replacement estimate
70 days ago, I had my dealer replace my oiler cooler lines due to leaks due to rust. In the process, the broke my radiator and replaced it at cost of parts no labor. Ever since, my 8 seems to be running hot with fans always running when I shut off. I waited until cool fall weather and the fans still run after shut down so I took it to the dealer. Dealer checked and said the engine temperature was not cooling down with the fans on and recommended I replace the thermostat. They quoted me $461.00. I think that estimate covers replacing the entire thermostat housing. Do I need all that or just have a new thermostat installed to replace the old one? Need advice. Thanks.
