Was wondering if anyone has torque specs on the bolts for the t-stat, I changed mine and all my hoses today but looking under the truck I have a drip, so I went to advance got a new housing and gasket. I need the factory book's on this truck, next on the list to buy.
Thanks

I just changed all my cooling hoses because of age, no visible cracking. Just to let everyone know what I found with 12 year old hoses, a lot of wear. i found the hose that goes to the bottom of the rad to be the worse, lying on the frame and wore to the point it was almost through. It is 1/2", with a 90* where it goes to the radiator, can't get one molded, I used PART # GY12UBP from advance ( E-Z Coil by GOOD YEAR ) and yes the tee is re-useable. The hose with the 90* that goes to the head off the tee I found in the back of advance auto parts, Part # 80400CSI. I used the CAT EXTENDED LIFE COOLANT, $11.00 gal., good for 300,000 miles with no additives to add, they are in it. Off to the next project.
