your vehicle could be corroded internally....what is the dexcool/distilled water ratio ????

many in warm climates save money on coolant because it never freezes,,,,then they pay hundreds to repair the damge created by lack of proper coolant ..


the other area is the fans,,,,do you have electric or the heavy duty cooling with the typical fan clutch...

then there is the lack of coolant system pressure, this will cause the coolant to boil,,,,when this occurs the water pump stops pumping...
