Default Everything's getting pricey

Figured with 75K miles on my '06 GT it might be a good idea to change the thermostat and coolant before winter. Picked up a thermostat and O ring from Ford and a couple of gallons of Zerex G-05 coolant. All together it was a tad over $60. Now I just need to get about 10 gallons of distilled water for flushing and diluting and I figure the entire job will cost about $75.

Try an Autozone or Napa next time. Or even the internet for the non-liquids.

The 2007+ guys had it easy. Same thermostat as the 2V.

I agree $75 doesn't seem to pricey to me either.
