yea it's easy to do, just make sure you install it with the weep hole on the top and not the bottom. and make sure you put it in the way it came out.

damn dude could you try typing in an actual language?

Replacing the thermostat is going to be a messy job. You'll get tons of coolant gushing out, either from the engine block drain or from the thermostat housing. I suggest draining the block first.

Then of course you'll need to refill w/ new coolant and bleed the air out and all that good stuff.

Buy a Haynes manual if you don't know what you're doing.

As for the fan switch, stock one will be fine, since the new thermostat opens at a lower temperature than before.

not EVERY thermostat has a weep hole.

I have been told from some old muscle car heads that they swear by it for added cooling. And back in the day they used to drill a small hole in it themselves.

it's the small raised round thing.

 

 

I already told you that not all thermostats have the weep hole. But I think it's better to have one. If you go to any auto store and get a stant thermostat, they have weep holes.
