Ok I put my stuff on Thanksgiving morning. Took about 1.5 hours. It wasn't very hard, but It was a pain for me. I though it would be easier to take the fan switch off after I took the theromstat housing out, but the damn thing wouldn't come off. So I put it back in, took my open end wrench & it broke loose. Then had to take out the housing again. Next, I had a bitch of a time getting the stock thermostat out. It was stuck in there very good. Next I tried to fit the Mugen stat in, & the gasket was too big, I couldn't get the housing back on. So I just used the one off the stock T-stat. Is that ok to do?? I hope it was the correct t-stat. It had the same part # as posted. It fit fine. I used a bottle of water wetter as well, & added some more water to the system since I lost a bit of coolant in this process.

All done here also. It does seem as if the temp gauge is a notch lower. The heat gets plenty hot now at 40* outside. We'll see around Jan/Feb how well it heats up. I hate antifreeze,.... slimey crap. :shakehd:

This mod might keep the trans cooler also. Engine coolant is used to warm up the trans fluid,....although it may head to the trans cooler after that. Hmm,...
