Hi everyone.

I really want to attend the cruise-in this evening. But Mr. Weather can't make up his mind if he wants to be cloudy, sunny and bright, rainy, or????????????????

I guess I could take the '86 LS Monte or the '03 Pace car to the cruise? I know if it rains and either get's dirty it's up to me to clean them.

Morning Everyone,

The count down till I get to leave work, and start the drive to Vegas! whoooohoooo! I am soooooo excited to be off work for almost a week!

Last night I changed the thermostat and coolant while I was at it in the Monte. I've noticed that now that is hotter, it seems to run hot when I have A/C on, and i'm climbing mountains in 90+ degree weather....it never used to do that, I drove through Death Valley last summer while it was 118 degrees out side, and climbed multiple mountain passes with the A/C blasting, and my temp never budged a spec....so i'm guessing my thermostat was sticking, so I figured I better change it before going to Vegas.
Then my mom and dad will be driving down to Vegas Friday just for the weekend, so I had to change the oil in the Bonnieville, and it also needed a new thermostat, so I did that and changed the Bonnie's coolant too....so last night was car night for me. LOL
Get this AutoZone wanted $75.99 for the thermostat for my Monte...I about S*it myself. So I called the dealer, and they had an AcDelco for $49.99...still high, but cheaper than AutoZone, so I got the AcDelco...i've never herd of such an expensive thermostat...The one for the Bonnieville was only $16.99 at the Chevy dealer for the AcDelco. Go figure this new 3500 has expensive parts!

I will try and check in when I get a chance in Vegas, but I will be on alot less while im out of town...so i'll catch up when I get back!

I hope Space is ok...weird not to hear from him by this time! hmmm

Well, hope you all have a great day, and an awesome 4th of July weekend!

I didn't know this. I hope you haven't bought anything yet. I'll be sure to price this at work tomorrow. I've sold some expensive thermostats, but if don't have it cheaper than that it will be the most expensive thermostat I sell or ever have. Premium 180 thermostats for my car cost my about$8 (cheap ones $3-4). Saturn's use a thermostat with the whole housing and they are only about $40 jobber. You've peaked my curiosity.
