Changing out thermostat?
I am going to get a reflash done to my computer and the shop recommended a 180 thermostat since they're lowering the fan temp.Seems pretty simple,dealer wants 150.00 labor to do it.I was told you have to bleed the system after you refill? How hard is this to do,the part is like 30.00,thanks.
