This wasnt what i wanted to do

with my tuesday. so i was driving home from dinner tonight and the check engine light came on. no big deal its probably just the CAI, right? yea....WRONG! i plug in my code reader and its say the thermostat is reading colder temperatures than it should...meaning the SOB is stuck open. so i go down to the local autozone, get a new thermostat and some Pretone 50/50 and guess what im gonna be doing tomorrow? lol

bro dont feel bad. before my balt i had a 10 in. lifted Ford-350 diesel. was changing the coolant one day...not really paying attention to what i was doing and slid the lower radiator hose off with my head right beneath it. put 2 and 2 together and you could pretty much figure out what happened to me

Not so bad, the hardest part is moving the **** to get to it. shouldnt take longer than 45 min. It took me that long but I was also hanging out with friends so we were talking **** the whole time too.
