[quote=69cj;9427476]I have an 05 and to lift the t-stat housing you have to remove 2 nuts and then a press. switch bracket and then two more nuts. I really think you are doing it the hard way. I will give you the flush method without the t-stat and you can gleen the info you want. It is also easier to remove the air cleaner housing.

Thanks for the info. I did the flush a few months ago without removing the t-stat. I am removing it now because I believe it is sticking and not allowing enough flow. For 30 bucks I am going to replace it for piece of mind, if nothing else.
