post up a picture I did it on my 18 silverado your's shouldn't be any different
Great. Did you just flip the plunger or tap and insert bolt? Also what’s the torque spec on those bolts?
I tapped mine like the video's show on youtube, I don't recall the torque spec it's not a lot that is all aluminum and it will strip easy, just take off the keeper bolt on the side where the lines enter and the lines will slide right out, then unbolt the thermostat and it comes off on the side there is a retainer clip, take off the clip and it comes apart
Ok. I have seen YouTube videos where people have just flipped the plunger and it slid into the area where the bolt would go.
ya I guess that is easier, should be a breeze once you have that snap ring off the internal part will slide out there is a spring and ball and stuff in there easy to misplace I would just open it over a clean rag or something, when you slide it back together double check that the snap ring is back into place properly it would suck if it popped out going down the road
Oh ok. That’s the first I’m hearing about the shutters. So you don’t think doing the thermostat delete will have that big of an impact alone?
You should see some difference, I drive with a pretty heavy foot so I needed to do a bit more to get the temps down.
