Thermostat problems

I have had the same Mishimoto 180° F thermostat in my 5.7L since 2016. Be sure to position the thermostat with the vent (air bleed) hole at the 12 o’clock position.

This is often overlooked! Definitely make sure it's in the correct position. Don't know if that would be reason for 7 failing though but it's a good place to start with the new one. I've actually read bad reviews about the duralast t-stat online, if that happed to be the one you were buying
