Thermostat MotoRad or AISIN

I used one of the MotoRad safety thermostat's that have a 1/16" hole already in them, in my 84. So.. No, I don't think you'll have any problems adding a hole.

The OEM Aisin thermostat opens at 185, staying completely closed until 180 where it can open up partially allowing proper circulation and proper temperature control. The engineers at Nissan designed this cooling system to function in a certain way at very specific temps. ONLY USE THE AISIN 185 OEM thermostat in these trucks.

I had to replace mine again after 6 months.

Just not Motorad--unless you want to replace it again in 6 months

MotoRad thermostat. Lasted less than 6 months.

never trust an aftermarket thermostat! Especially if it has MOTORAD stamped on it.

Oreillys used to have Motorad thermostats that were 2-5$. Then they started carrying Murray, which are double the price. Guess what's in the box? Motorad. Cheap crap for a premium price.
