Default Another newbe Question T-stat

Ok since i had the truck temp Gauge moves up to the C never no more.. So i took the thermostat housing off .. I belive the T -stat is in backwards or on cummins it sits with spring to the hose.. I was always told spring side towards motor.

it only goes in 1 way, otherwise it just barely hits the housing.

What brand thermostat? Most aftermarket ones dont work in our trucks. You need to cough up the money for a Cummins brand....

Also make sure the hole is up.
