## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this fit an 08 escalade 6.2 L92 engine?**
A: Yes it will fit

**Q: will it fit 2016 silverado 2500hd**
A: For a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 6.0l this is the correct thermostat style but is a lower temperature. The OE temp is 187 & this one is 160. This will make the vehicle run cooler & could cause a SES light. The correct thermostat is a 523-190. Thanks for the inquiry.

**Q: Will this fit on 2009 chevy Tahoe?**
A: Yes should fit nicely, fit perfectly in my 6.2.

**Q: Q: will this fit a 2002 yukon denali 6.0l I want to lower the temperature**
A: The OE temp replacement thermostat for a 2002 GMC Yukon 6.0l is the MotoRad 456-187. If you are looking for a lower temp thermostat, you can use the 456-180 or 
456-160.
