Cooling Question
Guys what is this?
http://www.sharkracing.com/acecart/b...cate=010803000
Yes it's a thermostat but is this what the kool kids are doing these days? I have never swapped mine and wondering if I should grab something like this or just oem swap?
Ah and what about brake fluid replacement. I'm gonna have her in for some shiny new lines should I let them re-fill or get some new aftemarket stuff in there? If you think I should have it emptied whats a step up for fluid?
Ohhh and lastly! Where are the kids getting their o2 sensors from these days? Dealer wants my girl friend for the day for payment, there has to be a good price somewere!?....
That is all, and yes this does belong under intake and exhaust, as it's saturday morning and I am very tired.

IIRC there's a ford low temp thermostat that can be picked up at local Autozones or Pepboys. Can't remember which one but I do recall reading about it in the ol' RDT forums. Not sure 'bout the brake fluid, but I picked up some new O2 sensors from Rockauto.com for much cheaper then what they were asking locally.

This is a sincere attempt not to sound like a jerk:
Your original post sounds like it was written by a teenager who needs to read a LOT more before they start asking questions or going anywhere near tools.
Use a stock thermostat unless your car needs a different temperature thermostat. Use OEM brake fluid or whatever meets OEM spec on the parts store shelf, unless you are building a car for the track.
