Just my 2cents here, but I went through 3 of the fail-safe thermostats in by bird before I went to a hi-flow one instead. I suspect that when I park the car after running it for a while the heat soak would pop the fail-safe thermostats over the safety so they wouldn't close anymore. That being said, I also run them in my Challenger where they function just fine.
