[QUOTE="Anybodyhome, post: 463472, member: 19161"] A few years ago I had the same thermostat stuck open adventure. Did all the work myself, and the expenses were the $30 or so for a new t-stat with housing and the cost of the coolant. It took more time to refill the coolant and burp the system doing it than the actual work of replacing the t-stat. Also replaced all the freedom top gaskets myself with a kit from Extreme Terrain that I think I spent about $20 on and got some generic weather stripping from Lowe's for another $20. So, yeah, maybe $100 worth of parts and material and a couple hours of a Sunday afternoon. [/QUOTE]
