Ahhh i thought so. So is there a drain on the raditor? How do i get all of the coolant out?

NASSTY

I'm not sure? I haven't looked for a drain yet. However, I also had to add almost a gallon after installing my 170* thermostat.

Yeah i added a gallon also, of gold with the stock orange i couldnt find a drain myself. Might have to pull the lower rad hose off?

If your not running at the track will changing to a 170 degree thermostat benefit for just daily driving and occasionally towing? Is there the added benefit of longer engine life or anything? I don't run at the track ever but if it was going to increase engine life I would do it as I plan on keeping this truck until the wheels rot and fall off. Maybe my sons first truck too

Anyone know the torque spec for the bolts holding the cover for the thermostat?

I emailed Reische and got a reply within an hour from the owner, at night no less.

The tq spec is 40inch/pounds.

Great customer service, happy to have their product.
