Replaced the WP, thermostat, serpentine belt and valve cover gasket. While replacing the valve cover gasket, I broke the temp sending unit on the back of the block. Picked up a new on from NAPA. Installed and started driving. The temp was 40˚ above normal! Rechecked everything. Still running hot. Took it to the local mechanic and hooked up a scanner to it. Temp gauge went to 250˚ and the scanner pegged at 210˚. Yep, the sensor is a POS.

Guess I'll be buying more parts from the dealer. I hate going to dealers.

Also replaced the oil filter adapter O rings, starter and battery this winter.

Up next:
Back up lamp switch.
Outer axle joints and maybe a front axle rebuild.
Motor mounts.
Auxiliary lighting.
What's the odometer reeding on that one?
