I also found the 2 temperature sending units on the top of the engine. I will most likely replace these first and see if my temperature guage goes back to normal. Then if it doesn't, I will replace the thermostat while changing the fluid.
I went out to look at the temp senders and the one on the right appears to be partially unscrewed. I found the part number for one of them DY-681, does anyone know what the other one is?
Ric,
Yes I plan on using the Prestone kit, but you must first drain the radiator. Most of the fluid is in the block, and the Haynes manual mentions two block plugs to drain it but does not tell you where.
In order to drain the fluid completely, I would have to flush with fresh water over and over until all of the fluid in the block is water. Can anyone tell me where the block plugs are?
The beauty of the flush Kit is that you don't have to remove the plugs.
