Can I use the factory Ford replacement for the 96' Ford Mustang GT, or only aftermarket? Thanks!

they are both the same, with exception of price.
Incorrect.
The stock Mustang T-stat is 192F.
Hence why a SPECIFIC AFTERMARKET PART NUMBER was listed.
MOST LISTED PARTS have the wrong heat range listed on the box. Most places sell a "labeled" 180F T-stat that is nothing more then a reboxed OEM. {192F}
Also IIRC it's from an 00+ Mustang after the head change and hose routing change. {I'm too lazy to search for my other posts about it } The earlier ones are too small. Again HENCE the part number.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
