I was stuck in traffic today and noticed my temp gauge go almost to red and when I got home saw that , what I think, is my thermostat housing is now cracked. I've been looking online and I think the thermostat housing is actually the part that sits on top the thermostat itself. The part which is cracked on my GT is where the thermostat sits inside of. It doesn't look like the block itself is cracked as coolant only looks to be coming out the side of that piece. If you go to this link, it's pictured in steps 8 & 9.
1) Is that piece easy to replace on my own? It looks like face up bolt on, but I can't tell.
2) If so, anyone know of a tech article on how to do it?
3) Roughly how much do you think it would cost of have a shop do it?
Thanks for your help
