More good news to report. We took out the BWD thermal switch and installed the OEM unit pulled from the local salvage yard. After getting the harness back on and the coolant refilled, we let it sit until last evening (~25 deg F outside). We then went out and started the truck and am happy to...

Good news to report. We disassembled the truck and cleaned all of the flanges a 2nd time. Thanks to ChevyMike we got another water crossover and t/stat housing. We bead blasted those and got them all cleaned up prior to installing our heater hose fittings. Got everything buttoned up last...
