## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this the oem 2009 6.2v8 gas?**
A: I do not know if it fits gas but it fits duramax diesel.

**Q: what do I need for my 6.6l Duramax diesel?**
A: u need two thermostats

**Q: is there a housing gasket as well?**
A: I do not recall a gasket on the thermostat housing.  Both the intake manifold and the thermostat housing are a machined surface and I did not purchase a gasket when  I replaced my thermostat. I would not have reused a gasket so this tells me a gasket is not used. Tim

**Q: Will this fit a 1985 small block 350 ?**
A: No this is for a 6.6 Duramax.
