    The t stat is connected to the upper part of the lower radiator hose. Right where it connects to the back of the block. You can put it in a pot of boiling water with a thermometer, and see if it opens. Hope this helps

    yea i'm running a set on my ride and there's another wagonist that has some too... check out the June voting of the PAC's
  • bigluelokbigluelok Wagonist
    so i turned my wagon on see if the fans would kick on and nothing so i started to take the intake tubing off and these wires were hanging
    377.jpg
    i took the end caps off and hooked them both up the the battery and sure enough the fan kicked on.

    where do they go? i dont just want to wire it direct to the battery.

    i also found that my left corner has a hole in it.
