it has been indicated several times that they are the maker of the OEM>>
t-stat....my question is if the Behr part is the "same" why the temp difference?
So far i have had OEM's, Wahler and Behr in multiple T-belt jobs that have been done...Wahler and Behr run warmer in my observations. Could it be coincidence that i got a "hot one"...sure...but what are the odds?
To me there is a difference...i am not sure that there is a percentage variance that is that large between products...just my two cents..

Could be multiple applications with varying specs, all fitting within the tolerances.
Or flavor of the week in their material suppliers, all fitting within their specs. Up and down the supply chain.

Is the OEM T-Stat the one you just removed during the recent TB change?
Or are both T-Stat's brand new? If the OEM is the one you just removed could it be that the Behr is new and the spring has not had as many hot and cold cycles as the OEM.
