The best I could find is a 203 degree stat. We need to find somebody who can design and fabricate a higher temp stat.

I first looked into this about 25-years ago, contacted a manufacturer for a sample that (free, too!) that was big enough to use in the cooling system of the car I had at the time. Chickened out as didn't really have the extra income to experiment with other additives.
This question has come up on the different Cummins boards, and outside of a few users, the idea of a $300+ coolant change plus added filtration as a good idea hasn't had enough takers to make a decision thereupon.
There are some hotter thermostats, but the questions about cooling system capacities when being run hard (xtra heavy payloads, trailers, etc) has kept usage low; as against any perceived benefit.
IOW, I'd like to try it, but the expense and (potential) unknowns put it farther down the list than some other changes. I well understand how it works, but, . . . .
