    You're kidding me, right? We just jumped from $16 to $116? The thermostat is NOT SERVICEABLE? These are one of the most basic serviceable parts in any car! You undo two to four bolts, pop out the old...

    Took it to Autozone, and they said it either needs coolant (doesn't seem to), or is a thermostat or coolant sensor. Had...

    I'd do that if I could get my existing unit out. I'm afraid of breaking something. Once out, I will still need to figure out how to get disks out of it. I guess a hammer/chisel would do it.

    2 questions:

    1) If I do the swap, can the cover remain off when testing? (I haven't looked yet, but am assuming a yes here.)

    2) Should I disconnect battery first?

    Thank you.

    timing belt: do it yourself?

    Well, it speaks for itself.

    Is this beyond the shadetree mechanic?

    Anyone have diagrams or directions? Some cars are easy, and some not. Which is this? (I think I have an idea.)

    Thanks.

    The BFG AT KO are absolutely one of the BEST snow tires I have ever had, and many, MANY agree with that sentiment.

    I thought the M+S stood for Mud and Snow, which means snow tires.

    No?

    So, what do people think of the General Altimax HP?

    The Tirerack has these in 215/65R16 for $93, plus $84.86 shipping.
