Default Thermostat removal???

Do I have to remove the plenum to change out my thermostat? One of the two bolts holding down the thermostat housing is about 1 inch long. Don't know if this will get in the way. :confused:

No, you should be able to replace it without removing plenum. :cheers:

Mikez40 is correct. One of those bolts is actually a stud which provides an injector ground. Just make sure it goes back the same way it comes off.
