I gotta tear into it I figure if I can rebuild a honda this ford should be easy lol

Just I am old school carbs, no throttle body stuff no efi, no electronics but after reading your thread again why would they have to pull the intake to replace the thermostat housing upper and lower?

Because it's right below the intake. It wasn't expensive, only $317 for everything, including a pinion seal on the rear diff, which was like $60. So it wasn't bad at all.

And yeah, I hate these new computerized engines... The Kota, which is a 97, has nothing like this...
 
so do they pull intake or just throttle body off? seems like the t-body can just come off then unbolt and lift off, sounds to easy hahaha
 
yeah, just looked again, intake hangs over too far it would have to come off
 
got out the inspection mirror, could not see any water leaking from the t stat housing anywhere, that does not sound good

I haven't washed my truck in about 2+ months and she's looking bad. it's too cold to do the Hand wash routine and I dislike paying $16-$20 for a complete automated wash and the gas station car wash is ok, but the automatic dryer leaves 90% of the water on the truck, and in the winter, it freezes to the truck.
I guess I have to decide which is the "least worst" option.
 
no oil 'n' go here. and the "do it yourself" washes here, although have garage doors that you close, they still are cold, because when a car leaves, the door stays open until someone closes it. so the place is always cold. and someone is alway's waiting to use the wash bay, so i felt "hurried" and I hate that.
I think since it'll be in the 40's on friday, I'll get a quick "gas station wash" and drive down the freeway at 70, blowing the excess water off. - heck it's only $7
