Seemed to work via the method referenced above, can you see the example tstat? Where in the process did your photo upload not work? (BTW, that is what the correct D24(T) tstat and gasket look like.)

Anyway, your gasket being only 2 years old is still probably in good enough shape for the time being as long as you did not see any gouges or other deformities in it, and it did not get soaked in oil or overheated.

Good to hear it worked out.

The links in post #14 above should help you with your questions about heater hoses in your other thread. You can build replacement hoses from parts that are readily available and the result is a better setup than the original. But, you have to read the instructions carefully and go through it step by step in order to get good results on the first try.

We're here to answer any specific questions you have after digesting the information in those threads.
