Temp switch
Hello all I'm gonna do my temp switch tomorrow and was wondering is it able to break easy as say the glowplugs? I'll spray it with pb blaster but what I'm asking is will it come off easy or will it break? I'm just worried and also what size socket is it? Thanks for the help

James this may be a stupid question but did it just stop working someone told me it may not be bad but it just runs cold I don't think so to that I mean it's just laying. Down the needle that is thanks Paul

Idk, my old sb chev had warning lights, not temp gauges. 
When i swapped the stat and sender, my gauge needle now sits at R when warmed up and creeps into the M when pushin hard. Keep in mind if your problem is the stat and not the sender, fixing the sender wont do anything. I broke a bolt in my thermostat housing. It happens. Nothing you can do about it.

It is a CrankCase Vent. Basically you take the doghouse that sits on top of your drivers side valve cover and goes up into your intake system, turn it around and vent all the oil vapors out of the intake and run a hose to the back of your truck. Then you just plug the hole in the aluminum piece of your intake system and call it good.

I haven't done it, I figured its not worth the trouble right now. For the plug, im not sure.. probably just a freeze plug or maybe just jb weld a piece of metal to the outside of it. just make sure its sealed up.
