[DeTomaso] Thermostat longevity, air bleeding

[michaelsavga at gmail.com]

Just that thermostats are cheap and the whole process is a lot of work to do twice if it turns out to be bad. A new one is cheap insurance against wasting time and money.   Michael in savannah

I changed all the pipes and hoses to stainless and gates. The last guy had already changed the pipe to the block to stainless a few years ago and it does not leak.
Any reason why I have to also take that apart and replace the thermostat if it all works fine?  I thought thermostats lasted a long long time??

Also, when I refill and start the car and try to jack up one end and then the other can water pump or engine damage occur as the temp gauge may not be accurate if air is in the system?
I assume you try to get most of the air out prior to starting.

Thanks

CW
