Man I could totally chow down a pizza right now,I'm starving!! She and I are going to one of our fave Mexican restaurants here in a bit. It's cold and wet outside here today, the perfect food to warm us up!!
I notice that "sealed at the hut" sticker. Our last Papa John's pizza was like that too. But I always open the box before I leave the store to make sure I didn't get gypped before I leave. So may times I've gotten home with either the wrong pizza, or a shoddy made one.

Going to get a Mtn Dew at the Speedway and then going home to lay out tools to put on my thermostat on my truck tomorrow.

Oh yeah I got one of the last ones ever made for my truck since it’s an 89 OE parts were discontinued long ago so I went to the Mazda dealership with the part numbers for it got it and the gasket. The part has on the box DOM:01/04 so it’s been waiting 16 years to be installed lol. The guy in the parts department found it funny I was going to pay OE price for a almost 31 year old truck, but the other thermostat lasted this long I’m confident the other will too.
I got one of the last radiator caps they had for a 93 Corolla. Cost 25 bucks too.
At least the Subaru guy gave me some license plate screws for free. I really should put them on lol
I am confident that somewhere, somehow, even if online from other dealerships far away.. parts can be aquired.

$25 is what the gasket and thermostat combo costed. I’m kinda worried the gasket will be brittle as old as it is. I’ve never bought an OEM radiator cap before my truck still has the original radiator and cap probably couldn’t get an OEM one now anyway lol.
Mazda truck.. I like oddball cars like you lol. B2000? 2300? I remember them being alongside Ford's.. I would buy a Mazda Navajo.
Many people just RTV a thermostat gasket, I think the gasket should be fine as long as it is not a paper gasket? For that, any gasket from a parts store (blue FelPro) should be fine if you're worried about it being brittle.
Just don't put thermostat in backwards. Some people even drill a hole in theirs for if it ever gets "stuck shut" or "fails closed." Not sure I have ever had that happen but some have.
My Corolla was "blowing off steam" at the cap and of course they say... Change the cap first. Your car may run a LITTLE better but.. usually, then a hose blows. Then another one, then another one, until.. the engine blows. If it has that problem. I don't know. (Except that something, somewhere, is causing the coolant to boil when that happens OR it's HG pressure.. but it usually isn't good.)

It’s a B2200 it wakes up the neighbors with the lifter tick it has when warming up on a cold morning lol. I’ve never drilled a hole in one so don’t know but I’ve heard of that too. My luck I’d drill thru my hand trying to drill a hole in it lol. Yes the gasket is paper I may put a little RTV on it to make sure because I’ve always been taught to use it with gaskets so might do that. And yeah that’s not good for the radiator lol.
