Just wanna make sure, the temp gauge sensor is on the bottom of the thermostat housing and the coolant temp. sensor is on top. I just replaced the thermostat to a 180. also had to replace the bottom hose with the metal tube, had a small leak in the metal.It was really rusty but i guess i would be rusty too if i had 225000 miles on me .
Thanks for any advice coming!
