Replacing the thermostat may help. My '84 has always run cold, even with new
thermostats, a real PITA when up in the mountains in winter...

It sometimes helps to spray lithium grease or other lubricant into the
bushings in the front end for the squeaking. Not a permanent fix, but makes
it easier on the ears.
