thermostat replacement question
Going to replace my thermostat tonight. Will I lose much coolant in the process? Can I just replace my thermostat and top off the coolant or should I go ahead and do a coolant flush too?
Heading on a 18 hour road trip Sunday and need to get this taken care of prior.

were you able to do the job with the coolant flush? from what I've read, coolant should be flushed while you're in there.
i was looking into replacing the thermostat, too, but given my limited workspace, lack of set up to flush coolant, and limited mechanical skills, i'm leaving this project for the shop.

To answer your question: Yes you can!
I did my thermostat and housing, and after install, just topped it off and went throught the bleeding protocols.

Be careful with the t bleeder screw. That thing will crumble. I managed to piece together a brass unit for under $30.
