ok.. third and last bump for the day.

I just looked up my Rockauto order for the last thermostat I ordered for this application;
Ordered place in January 2021:
Stant 14698 $11.82(cnd)

Even back then I knew the Motorad were the bottom of the bucket (By all means, enlighten me if I'm wrong) - Something is going on.

Are manufactures' shorting supply lines to increase profit margins??

That same part number on Amazon(.ca) is $43.55(cnd).

Pure lunacy.
