Where were U yesterday?? :-)
I have installed the GT755-180 on my 99 V6 and everything is working! I
wish I would have had the patience to wait until this information came to
light (that way i could have installed the "better" 400-180 T-Stat), but
this whole incident and the frequent trips to the autostores burnt me
out...what I thought was gonna be an easy 1 hour deal turned into a real
pain.
Let me just say in closing that I believe we have a great group of folks at
the DML, and people are very willing to try to be helpful. Jon's post is an
excellent example of how information such as this can be passed along. He
provided not only the information requested, but the source and reasoning.
This gives others an opportunity to follow-up on it and also to take into
consideration the source of the info, incase thier particular application
differs.
Thanks again...not only to Jon, but to Bernd and others who are continuously
there to provide assistance when someone posts a question.
Later all
