...wish me luck. I have to source the pump myself, but there is a NAPA nearby. Anything else I should have done while I am in there?

Easy answer. I'm on vacation, and my Mechanic works for half of what other places chaarge per hour. I'll be out of there for $30-40 Cdn for labour, and his garage is about a kilometre from where I'll be golfing that day

Thermostat yes, flush in a little while. I let Ford do that. Around here, they're the cheapest for fluids.

$11 for Synthetic red coolant (halvoline) crappy tire.. hows that expensive?? I did the coolant flush myself too... real easy.. 10 min job.. I wouldn't trust Ford to do an oil change
