What is your definition of "higher than normal"? Diesel needs to run a little hotter than usual. Unless it goes well beyond the limit, then you are probably ok with 195 t-stat.

@Rodd, I sent you a PM.

It is not GM if everything is easy. 😉

When I did mine, I just find a Youtube video on it. It is the same for gasser or diesel. Follow their direction. Not sure if yours has been modified then you need to post picture on what is the current situation.

Did you put in ACDelco parts?

JMHO. There is no such thing as the most reliable battery. You can buy battery from the same mfg or brand, sometimes it is good for a long time, sometimes it is short lived. The objective here is to buy it from a place where you have access to replace under warranty wherever you are.
