Some of us do find this interesting, there are two people here that have encounterd the same thing. It makes me wonder how many cars may be running with no thermostat unknowingly. i would be interested to see what causes this. I dont pay attention to those that mock. it would be intesting if someone had a high alkaline solution and place a thermostat in it and see how it makes out?

Just out of curiosity, has anyone called and asked this question of a certified Chevy Mechanic such as at a dealership or good shop and asked them if they've run into it versus us home mechanics? I've never seen as others have said a thermostat disintegrate myself but what about someone who works on hundreds of cars a year over many years?
