One of the guys on my forum with a SHO just became aware of this, I want to make sure you guys know this is going on. I am quoting Joel Miller from Reische performance. If you want a Reische t-stat I am a stocking dealer.
I am not entering the debate on t-stats or Livernois vs Reische just that I stock them and I am a Reische dealer and will always have them for you!

Hey guys Joel Miller from Reische here. Let's make one thing absolutely clear, we still remain the only company that currently produces a low temp thermostat that is specifically designed for 3.5L EcoBoost transverse applications. Tomc612: I'm very, very sorry but LMS pulled a fast one on you. That thermostat is made for a hot-side application (not a true direct replacement at all), it will function but not as well as a proper cold-side thermostat. I'm also going to disagree about the use of 160* thermostats for street use. We chose 170* as the best overall compromise for all season use. A 160* may cause problems in cooler weather depending on the tune programming, definitely wouldn't try it stock.
As far as special gaskets, only our Ford-50 unit (F150 EcoBoost) does not use the OEM o-ring but a (Stant 25282 or Gates 33619) comparable gasket which should be available at most auto parts suppliers. Gaskets are included in our thermostat kits so I don't see why this would be an issue anyway.
I believe LMS has made these substitutions based primarily upon profit margin, our thermostats are modified by hand and not cheap. I personally stand behind our products 100% and am willing to offer a lifetime warranty to the members of this forum who have purchased a genuine Reische product. Thank you for your support and any of you are welcome to call us at 661-414-2116 with any questions or concerns.
