Here, you see nothing in the hole. Â*Am I looking at the right hole??




Sorry for so many questions, but I've never done this before and I don't want to screw this up.</div>

You took off the wrong one, its the one right next to it on the left.

Ok, yeah, got that far. I have the right thermostat now, with a gasket, and now I'm in the process of flushing out all the old coolant. We should be up and running soon.

Thanks for the help guys.

heh... funny story... when i flushed my coolant around thanksgiving i had the whole thing patched back up, system flushed, coolant mixed, everything. last thing i did was put the thermostat back in and close the housing. i forgot that damn little electrical connection though that goes on one of the bolts on the housing. it got wedged between the meeting metal surfaces and made a gap. i got the damn thing half full and there goes all my coolant pouring through the housing. rolling down the driveway into the grass. i worked fast getting it apart and back together right but not fast enough.... had to go buy some more coolant @ advance. look out for that bugger. it sneaks up on you.

I thought I'd just let you guys know that the new thermostat fit right in, no problemo. I threw everything back together, flushed it all out, took it apart again, put the tstat in, filled it up with coolant and there hasn't been a problem since. The ngine actually runs cooler than ever, with the needle never even getting close to reaching half way. It's been a few days now and not a single problem. Thank you all for your help.

Joy!
