Is there a how-to write-up for changing out the t-stat?

[SRT82ECOBOOST]

I searched and could not find a how-to write-up for changing out the t-stat. I know the basics of what I have to do, but would just like to reaffirm a couple facts. Thanks in advance for the help.

Others have asked about a "How-To" for changing out the T-Stat, but the general consensus was that it was/is such an easy swap, that one wasn't really necessary.

What facts are you trying to reaffirm?

I'm sure either I, or others who have performed it, can answer them for you.

I do see this is quite an old thread though, but just in case anyone comes looking.

Unfortunately this "how to" is worthless since the pics are gone .... I guess when  DJ  left he decided to not do it in a graceful manner .

Lol, I guess I should've bothered to actually open the thread.

I thought there was several how to on this subject, either here or else where. Either way changing is no different then any other vehicle I have ever done.

I've done it 5 times!  I give up on trying to catch the fluid.  I just try to soak and clean it up after. 

Unsecured air box and do what BiGmaC said.

Just a little small advice,just have the proper o ring ready with the stat and make sure the car is cold,let the car sit overnight,so when you remove those 2 8mm bolts you will have the least amount of fluid coming out,and also remove the reservoir cap,release any pressure build up,i lost about 6 ounces,

A cup or so coolant loss is about average
