Took me about two hours, taking my time. The coolant bleeding etc. took the most time.
I might have to look into changing my thermostat too. I used the BC to look at the temps and driving around town they sit in the 65-70 range. Even after nearly an hour driving the best I saw was 75 degrees. Doesn't seem to be able to get anywhere near 88 degrees. How long does yours take to get up to temp? Next time I take a trip on the highway I'll see where it gets to but I would have thought it should get up to temp a bit quicker than that.
Checked the battery and it goes between 13.6 and 13.8 which seems correct.
