Well stopped by ford today and bought the new degas cap and a thermo stat and ordered a blur spring mod for the fuel filters. Installed the new ultra light bulbs my fender wouldn't allow me to get a wrench to take the cover of the lights. Had to take the friggin battery's out to get at the dam bulbs I couldnt believe it.

You can pull the headlight assembly from the truck
to re-lamp the markers and the main. just remove the grill
and the 4 small bolts that hold the thing in. You will need a long
flat blade screwdriver to release the grill bottom clips. All you
do it push down on the top edge of the metal clip closes to the
core support. Once the grill is out of the way remove the 4 bolts
on each lamp and they come out.
Let me know if you need some photos.

Well, I was feeling better tonite so I changed thermostat. I learned a couple of things:
1st: should have got a blue spring and did that while changing thermostat. Oh well, will change that when I flush coolant.
2nd: when they say let coolant cool, listen. Im an idiot, that stuff is hot!

After I changed t stat, i hooked scanner back up to check deltas. ECT was 43 and EOT was 46 before I started truck tonite. After warmed up, I got it to full honk and ECT was 196 and EOT was 202. I am happy.
After that, I drove it back to the shop and left the scanner on it. The delta widened up a bit, but never went over 18, and if it did, it was only for a bit

Easy way if you have a scanner in the truck is drive till it over 195 ECT and
go a bit more so you know it all warmed up. Then empty (no load) go
65MPH cruse control level freeway for about 5~10 minutes and then check the
deltas. Less than 15 F and your good.
