Hi,
Just wonderin how I replace the thermostat, I got my 180 deg. today. I looked for a writeup in the techinfo section but didn't find one. Thanks for any help!

What do you know? You know where it is?

Drain off about a gallon or so off coolant, remove the two bolts, pull out old one, put o-ring on new one, put it in, make sure gasket surfaces are clean, put on paper gasket, put gooseneck back on, refill coolant and bleed.

Others will chime in with the correct more detail method

I plan on doing this soon very soon as well...are there any mods needed?..will the 180* bolt right up?

Yeah, its just slides right in like the 195.

No, I don't even know what it is. I guess I'll have to go get a gallon of coolant, and I have no paper gaskets to replace with, was I supposed to get one?. Can I use the old o-ring with the new one?

You need two gaskets. 1 paper, 1 rubber ring.

Logan has the procedure pretty straight. It'* cake. Follow your top radiator hose to the clamp on the engine. That'* the t stat gooseneck. Pull those 2 10mm bolts..(after draining coolant of course)

do we have a drain plug on the radiator? i put in a 195* for winter today and i couldnt find one, so i took off the bottom radiator hose.

Its super easy, when i did mine on the 94 i just did as described by draining the fluid some, then undoing the two bolts holding it on, cleaned the 2 mating surfaces of the gaskets after removing the old t stat, replaced it with the new one, and its components, and put it all back to gether and refill the coolant u drained, and ur done

I don't have an o-ring or gaskets. Now do I have to wait another week and order those, or will an auto store carry them?

Do I have to drain all of the coolant?

Thanks for the help.

you should replace both gaskets. its cheap insurance. you dont have to drain it all, just about a gallon or so
