First off Hi, new to this forum and want to ask about changing out my thermostat and antifreeze in my 09 5.7 hemi.
I feel dumb asking this question as it should be pretty strait forward but everything is so much more complicated now than it was 20 years ago.
My truck has 117k miles and this is the first time for me to service the coolant system(so I figure I may as well change the Tstat and probably the hoses. Engine still stays pretty steady at 190 but I would feel better replacing the stat, hoses and cap now due to age.
I was reading about a engine plug that needs to be removed, but can't find anything on it. Any advice or tips would be appreciated.
This is a nice forum I wish you had stickies on basic maintenance items such as oil changes, transmission, coolant etc...
Thanks in advance
