God$%#(UI(@ I'm so sick of taking thermostats in and out!!!! I've used SOO much time and coolant doing all these cooling system projects I'm ready to just leave it alone for 2 years like the manual says you do (wishful thinking, I suppose) until the next flush.

It's funny the Haynes manual doesn't say anything about this, and too bad I got the Mercedes manual CD after the fact.

Oh well, if this makes my temps drop, I'll report back.
