Hey guys,

Maybe this is a silly question but I just got done changeing out my tstat and now I'm curious how do I go about burping the system or if I even need to do it?

Thanks!

Refill the reservoir to max cold fill lin... start the car....Turn on the heater full blast... and drive around easy normal ... (not just idle)... for 20-30 min.  That usually does it.... refill the reservoir again and check it daily for a couple of days (likely won't need more).   The refill can be done with Water Wetter, recommended Ford coolant (see your OM), or distilled water

That's exactly what I did and it worked perfectly for me. No problem burping at all!

How or what is the easiest way to fill the reservoir tank after I swap out my tstat? I'm looking to do this once I get my car back out of the shop. And I would like as much info as possible. Additionally I just got my tunes as well so I'll be loading it up as well.

Parke on level ground.  Right side up on a curb or jackstand to create a high point.  Lisle SpillFree Funnel to add coolant to the degas/overflow bottle.  Then follow the "burp" procedure.  After cooldown, add more coolant as needed.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I just removed the tstat housing and pulled the stock tstat. There is a rubber oring on the stocker. I bought a replacement oring for the 160 tstat is that nescessary to place it in there with the 160 stat?

The 160 stat uses the oem gasket and if you do have a new gasket would definetly use the NEW one.  NEW GASKET AFFIRMATIVE.   BTW the nipple(valve should be facing up(2400hrs)  Z

Might as well use the new one since you bought it.  I used the one that was already in there and it worked fine too, but I just replaced it with an oem motorcraft.

Well I installed the tstat and I wasn't aware that the nipple thing was supposed to be at the top. I guess I'll have to work on it again in the morning. I also failed at burping the system. Cold air when the heat is on becomes warmer if I rev to 2k rpm. Drove it around the neiborhood and it started to overheat. So I had to stop and turn it off and wait for it to cool to continue. Before driving I had the RS front wheel up on a ramp trying to burp the system. I guess it didn't work.

Definitely sounds like low coolant/air bubble situation.  You ran the blower at max with climate control on FULL HOT?  Sometimes you have to repeat a few times before it takes, but having the TStat point the right way is mighty important, so I'd take care of that first.
