cooling problem from hell, part duex!

fiveohpatrol · 03-18-2001, 11:57 PM

i think she may be fixed, i let it run for about 25minutes with the cap off and then put a little more coolant in the overflow tank, drove it and it never went above 185 degrees, then came home,let it cool, drove it again and the same, third time was the same result, then i probably a stupid idea but i decided to really test it out by driving it back to college 85 miles away, driving at about 2700RPM the whole way with the heal on low and the temp never went about 180, seems to be fixed but i've also thought that a couple times before too, so im knocking on every piece of wood i can find

thanks for the help guys
