Re: Thermostat replacement

i'll do the job for someone and they can take pics for a nice time/money saving DIY.

i did this job thursday, last week. did not remove the alternator.

I'm game on that...do photos, take notes....do a nice write up.

PM me and we can figure out a time (I'm not in a huge rush and don't have the part yet).

Re: Thermostat replacement

I was in the Chinook area, and George was available so I just got it done. Temp gauge dead on 90 again, heat is better and warms up to op temp faster. 180 or so including parts and the coolant replacement.

I've had the temp less than 90 for awhile but the cold temps made it much more obvious. Car seems to run smoother now but I've only driven a few kms. I didn't have a code initially until I started farting around with the apr programs switching around and thus the car had issues starting which threw the cel. So you may still have the problem even with no cel.
