thermostat cost under $10. Replace it now while the motor is out. Who knows how long that motor has sat and the thermostat could have locked up

Spend money on more usefull stuff first, injectors, turbo, intercooler, **** like that. Then worry about the driveshaft. That being said Ive changed my driveshaft and themostat

do the water pump and thermostat together.if you do one do the other. i have a 11lb drive shaft from the drive shaft shop .com. i dont know what it was like before it with the original one, but i like this one. i dont suffer from and of the vibrations i hear people talk about.

i had a steel drive shaft from the drive shaft shop, i had to send it back 5 times to get it rebalance, in the end i decide to sell the drive shaft because of a bad vibration.
