I just went to a toyota dealer for a therm about 2 weeks ago. They had the 2 stage unit in stock, but it cost about $30, where as the single valve was $16. If you get the single stage and drill a hole, just make sure that you only go 1/16" as 4crawler's write up recommends. I made the mistake of drilling a hole too large on a perfectly good t-stat and my engine ran too cool and took forever to warm up.

I'm running a NAPA 180 degree with a hole drilled in the flange. Works great.

Wow, you're way up there. I used to be stationed near Oscoda at Wurtsmith back in the day. Eastern winters suk!! Way too much humidity.
I run a Yota or NAPA 195, yep 1/16" hole for the temp overshoot. Toss an extry behind the seat.
