Stuck Thermostat on 2015 5.0; finding replacement?

[JoeCarl]

On the way home from picking up our daughter from school, the Engine Overheating warning came on out of nowhere on my 2015 5.0. Luckily, was close to a shop, so dropped it off there. Just got a call back from them saying the thermostat was stuck, would need to replace, but the kit was OOS for both OEM at the dealer and 3rd-parties that he tried, and that the dealer told him it was OOS across the country.

Anybody have suggestions on place else to look? The part number is

256003F500

Try Googling the part number. Some Hyundai parts stores have them in stock.

Personally, I've had a good experience with Big Tiger Parts on Amazon (ABS Wheel Sensor Hub). They ship OEM parts from South Korea via FedEx and it takes about a week to receive after payment. They usually have the best prices.

Thanks, @Topspin. I had googled the part number, and found a bunch of similarly sketchily named sites that, when called, led to different dealers across the country. None called me back.

Hadn't thought to try Amazon. Ordered there from Edxtech Limited, which had outstanding feedback and was a day earlier than Big Tiger. Fingers crossed it gets here early...car rental is 4x the cost of the part!

Update 2: just got notified it has shipped...from Big Tiger! Either Edxtech Limited drop shipped from Big Tiger, or they are the same company.
