you can search the "how to" section..

2 10mm bolts (on thermostat housing... pass side front of motor)

take out old thermostat, re-use stock gasket..

dont over-torque the bolts...

I was also wondering about doing the 180 or 160 t-stat but i was worried about the engine not making it to closed loop operation ? Will it still make closed loop with a 160 in ? Should you remove the 160 and do higher one in the winter ?

HOW-TO: Thermostat Install

[getnpsi]

i think a 180 is a good choice. my fan doesnt kick on nearly as much in regular driving creating voltage spikes. also a fan puts a load on the system which robs me of like one hp. ill thank the thermostat the day i get a 11.99 or something
