yeah, it did Del, it warmed up almost immediately, and stayed in the 190-210 area, I was going to do the drive out around the lake, across the dam trip, but they are doing construction on that bridge by the little grill, so I just brought it home, it stayed a niced even temp, and Maddie complained because her feet were getting too hot, so she made me turn the temperature down.
I brought the old thermostat in last night, to look at it, it was stuck open hard, I had to get a screw driver out to pry it shut, then I couldn't push it back. I boiled it, and it just bearly cracked open, I finally got it hot enough to get it to crack open a little more, then removed it from heat, where it stayed cracked open, and I had to force it closed again.

I'm in such a bad mood-- I planned on cleaning out the truck-- capping off the fluids, checking tire preasure ect ect and it hasn't gotten done. then the 2 days I have left to work on it are nice and sunny and a stupid bank vault locks up and I have to drill a whole big enough for me to crawl through today-- going to take all day so much for leaving early. going to be an extremely busy day tomorrow... so much to do so little time.

I did have trouble with my 97 one time. I was driving home from Utah on I70 and the defrost did ok going up the devide. But when I headed down this side toward Denver it iced up the windshield. Coasting down hill at 55 mph it just wouldn't make enough heat to keep the windshield clear in a snow storm.
