t-stat

Check the vendor list for the t-stat and "O" ring, make sure chip works with 160* t-stat, (Chip should turn the fan on @160*+/-).
Might be a good time to check/change the thermostat housing, upper hose.
Drain/change coolant.
Clean the bore in the intake for the new t-stat & "O" ring.
Use vasoline on the new "O" ring when installing.
Pretty easy job.
Good luck :cool:
