Nothing special about the thermostats besides the fact that they are under the dash of the van and you have to do a massive amount of disassembly to get to them.

Just the inside disassembly - don't know why the site keeps rotating the image

More than I paid to fix it and then you have a vehicle with reduced resale and that no dealer or above-board repair shop will work on. The EPA is also rapidly cracking down on companies selling diesel deletes so there is no guarantee of future support should their delete tune or parts have issues down the road.

Oh - and you have a massively more polluting vehicle because you were too cheap to do the maintenance.
