Re: Cooling problem.
An update.
I drive my Venture daily, anywhere from 100 to 200 miles for work.
So I've put about 6000 miles on it since the liquid fix. She ran great, only overheating when I sat at idle for more than 15 minutes or so. I guess that means the crack didnt get completely filled.
Last week the temps jumped into the 60's and 70's. The van did not like the warm weather. The guage would creap up at every light, and God forbid I got stuck in traffic.
Pulled the thermostat out the other night. Who needs heat anyway huh?
Actually, I cut the spring side out of the thermostat and used the remaining ring and gasket to keep a seal. It runs VERY cool at highway speed now, but the temps still creep up when sitting.
Im getting ready to flush the system again and put some Bars Leak in for the whole summer. Wish me luck.
The inspection is up in June. Think I can make it?
