Well I got the coolant switched out as well as the thermostat and hoses. The rear(firewall side) block drain in a 3.4 is a pain in the butt. I got it out alright using a bunch of extensions, a swivel socket, and a universal. I had to have a little guy put it back in for me because I couldn't get my hand up to it and the socket wouldn't hold it at the right angle. God bless the little people. Well he is little to me. I'm 6'8" 330lbs. He is 5'3" and like 105lbs.
Thermostat wasn't that bad actually. The S-shaped 13mm wrench I have made easy work of it. Sure beats taking the exhaust crossover off. I did remove the throttle body though, it needed a cleaning anyway, and gaskets are cheap.
