Thanks click and Wayne. Ya, I'm aware of the fans not coming on any sooner. And I had planned on doing the oil changes more frequently even without the new T-Stat.
As far as the hose's are concerned. When I replaced the drive belt earlier this year. I reached down to where the T-Stat is and the hose felt soft. Sign of needing to be changed. Plus, You don't know my luck. As soon as I try to remove the hose. Something will go bad and the hose will get destroyed. I just how things go with me. My experience with things is Murphy was an optimist. I'll also probably be replacing the water pump as well. So any hoses that are in the immediate vicinity I would like to change while it's apart. This will also be the time when the S-Cooler gets installed that I have one hand. Just want to drain the fluids once and be done with it.
Thanks for your help gentleman as usual.
