Engine Flush
Engine Oil & Filter change.
R&R Drive & A/C Belt....


Here's where the fun started...


Busted the thermostat housing...replaced with new; $50.00.
Reset SVC lights.



Cleaned the driveway...


I've removed a number of cooling fans over the years; have 7 dedicated wrenches on the wall....but I got careless and the housing was very brittle. Once I got it out, I could break it by hand.


Cooling fan notes: 1-1/4" wrench; set it up and impact (wap it) the wrench to the right (clockwise). Re-thread counter-clockwise (funest part of every fan R&R)...



Advise to change that bugger out after 100k miles.


Got a airbag recall notice last month; dealer did a visual while it was there and quoted me $425.00 to chg belts and repl. coolant....nope!


Back on the road!
