[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1051879, member: 74901"] Yep, for the ThermoStatHousing, any Aluminum version is better than the JunkPlastic OEM\AfterMarket versions. Believe your 2005 IntakeManifold allows slightly easier access to the ThermoStat than earlier Manifold designs, so with basic tools & a little patience you should be good; sometimes one of the 3 bolts at the engine flange can be stubborn coming out. As swshawaii noted above, the single TempSensor version should fit your 2005.
