The radiator cap needed to be replaced as well. There’s nothing like having hot engine coolant soak your leg while stuck in New York traffic.

The thermostat is a durable part of a Brick's system. Mine has almost 100K miles because the coolant is changed regularly and the Brick is ridden often. If it's working, leave it alone. If it is a suspect for overheating, test it by placing it in a pan with water coming to a boil when it is closed and verify it has the correct opening temperature. If you remove it for testing, don't damage the perimeter gasket; replacement gaskets aren't common. If it's damage, you'll need to roll your own.
If Edward has a cheaper thermostat that has been working for him, perhaps he'll post the make and model of it in this thread.
Your Brick's fan is likely to have a corroded fan shaft, failed fan motor or corroded connector. Please keep us updated.
