Sweet!

Congrats!

So...it didn't cost you a dime right?

just the cost of the original thermo from the dealership, instead of the parts store..which was about double the cost..but well worth the money

Something my Dad taught me to do, drop it into a pan of hot water to see if it functions first. It used to be common for them not to work so that is why he did that but it is something to consider now.
