NAPA # THM124 $19.09 on the website, but your local store should be able to get one for you.

The WP to T-Stat housing hose isn't too bad. That's after I spent an hour and a half the previous night without the grease and I remembered a thread on the grease. The dielectric grease makes it a snap. You just kinda roll it to smear the grease and then you can feel when to push. It should go right on.

To install the t-stat, remove the bracket holding it to the frame, then the two bolts holding the housing together. My t-stat was stuck. Have your bucket ready cause once you pull the t-stat the engine drains FAST. Make sure you get the t-stat gasket perfectly situated in the groove for it and hold it in with the housing bracket. Then the housing goes on and once you get it snugged down, remove the bracket and tighten all the way.
