Yes, I am getting old and forgetful!
And the heater core o-rings harden and then it leaks.
Let me add some 9-3/9-5 stuff...
The T7 engine moved the oil pressure switch from the center if the block were it was a chore to get at, to a location buried behind the starter, and the new switch has a flying lead and connector that is hard to get at to disconnect, and you have to pull the starter motor to replace it, and the new switch seems to be as bad as the original for failing, but to add insult to injury, these often turn into leakers! So they moved it to the back of the block just to make sure that it was senstive to low oil pressures at the far end, but the lamer still fails and leaves you blind to oil pressure failures. About as useful as a failed smoke detector.
The 9-5 has an engine mount over the serp belt and you have to support the engine and remove the mount. So you have this ordeal before you can even inspect the upper pully for fast/dry spin or wobble. With the NG and 9-3, checking that pully was a 60 second job, replacement was 5 minutes or less. So the lesson is just replace every 60K, or more often if old vehicle with few miles/year.
