If you can spare a 100 bucks, get a FlowKooler high flow water pump, radiator flush, and make sure you're topped off with coolant 50/50.

I ordered both of those yesterday along with a new robert shaw t stat. I figured it was the tstat starting to stick, but I also figured if I've gotta open the system up I might as well put in a new high flow pump and housing

You can do all the rods, and bushings yourself saving you some money. The alignment on the other hand, I went to a Mexican tire shop off Culebra and they charged me 45. And since you have a lift all they can do is the toe. So that's all they charged me for. If you go to Firestone they will charge you full price for 1- 3rd of the job.

In other news, I have a daily driver!
