I had a head gasket replacement at 178k, and finally the dreaded thermostat housing at 110k, 160k, then finally got an aluminum one at 174k. I may have named that part wrong, whatever it was it was part of the coolant system.
I guess some other things about my car is that it's been a trooper moving things around. I haven't towed anything, but I have loaded it down with over 500lbs of free weights while building my home gym.
This is my final verification post. If you read all of my entries, thanks, that was pretty cool. I may happen to find myself back here one day but we'll see.
