Default BB Mod since im really cheap..

I found Goshawks post but he has moved his pictures or something...


Here is the Thermostat....





Get a large set of Channel Locks and you can see where to grab the thermostat..

Grab right beside the ears of the housing. Push down just a lil and turn either way..




Further disassemble the thermostat...



Go grab the BBs.... haha

Found these on top of the gun safe..


Look inside the housing and you will see where to put the BB.





After the BB install just reassemble the thermostat


Good to go..... Expect the ECT to be about 180 on a hot day and 160 on a cool day..

Total cost....... um.. one BB... how ever much that is.....

Worked great on mine. I had it done for about 1-1/2 years.

Just don't try this on an aftermarket stat housing unless it's identcal to the factory one or the bb won't fit.
