Finally repaired the minivan

I finally got around to replacing the thermostat in the minivan. It was much easier than I thought. I figured the access would be really tight, but it wasn’t bad at all.

That is the new one down there, the black plastic part that looks new with a blue dot on it.

Old one that was stuck open.

Less than thirty minutes, half a gallon of antifreeze, and really minimal clean up.
