I tried to burp it this afternoon but no air bubbles. I assume it is just running hotter with the new thermostat. I let it run for over an hour and it never got past the "m" on the normal. I will drive it for awhile and see. Too bad on the Cobra. I guess it is all stock with the exception of the intake.

tl86gt, thanks. not sure what a aeronose is. I am a new mustang owner. Bought it from my dad about 6 months ago because he couldn't work the clutch anymore.

do you know where I can get the weather stripping that goes between the door windows and the exterior of the door. My is all broken up. I guess it is to scrape the dew off and hold the window straight?

Thats what I was thinking. In our house in south carolina we have 4 weeping japanese maples, a weeping cherry and a weeping willow. The willow looks very good. Did you planr it our was it there when you bought the house.

bought it from a magazine 3 years ago. It was 4 feet tall when we planted it and now is is about 20 feet tall. It is pretty suprising because we do not get much rain here in VA Beach.
