Ok, I have next to no heat in my bus. I've never had this issue before. My mind says it could be a stuck or dead thermostat. However, it has also been like -6 to -12 her all week so I have also considered it could just be too damn cold out :)

Coolant levels are good - although the last few months I have has to add a bit about every two weeks or so (I see no leaks at all and do not see any signs of coolant in the oil).

So I thought I'd replace the thermostat with a new one jusat to be sure. I've heard that can be a PITA. Any thoughts, tips, etc on my lack of heat and replacing the thermostat?

-- Thanks,
