Hi,

Somehow it's taken until Dec for it to start getting consistently cold here. I've been noticing my temp gauge not getting up to the center line every now and then (weather would randomly get hot and cold so it wasn't consistently below temp). Today I finally opened the test menu and went on my morning commute (about 15 min - 2-3 min street, 7-8 min highway, 3-4 min in traffic on a congested 2 lane road). Temp only barely got to 62 C and that was after I parked! Planning to replace the tstat since most threads here say it's not too bad of a job, but at 85k miles is it worth doing the other "while I'm in there" items or could I get away with just the tstat? It recently became my daily so trying to shorten the amount of time it spends taken apart.

Thanks!
