reische thermostat install

[Tcstang]

We should be able to just drain the radiator a bit using the valve on the bottom in to a clean container and reuse the coolant. I have plenty of extra rubber hose laying around to use for draining it.

[MENTION=15416]Tcstang[/MENTION] and I got it taken care of quickly. We lost a decent amount of coolant, but just added water and now my cylinder head temps are around 185-190 consistently. Thanks again, Stephen.

Awesome!
Did you drain the radiator first?

Yeah, the coolant drained for awhile from the radiator drain spout. Like I said though, we just added water back in and all seems well so far!

Did you have to upgrade your tune for the new thermostat?

I am already running the lund FF tune.

I hope you added distilled water, regular tap water is not the appropriate way.

We added either tap or filtered, unfortunately not distilled. However, we probably only added 3/4 of a gallon of water or so.

Figured the little amount we did wouldn't cause harm.
