96 camaro overheating
:smoker2: Thanks for replying. My friend and I flushed the system completely and man you should have seen the gunk that came out.. As you probably know GM filled their cars from 96 on up with DEX-COOL crap.. This evidently has broken down and has fouled my cooling system. Anyway, we flushed every which way you can flush it. Refilled grudgingly with the DEX-COOL, replaced the thermostat since that was completely gunked up and it runs fine now. Head gasket is fine no damage there but I think I got really lucky although when it started overheating I pulled it over. Didn't drive it in that condition. I'm probably going to pull the water pump out just to check it out and give it a good cleaning or maybe replace since once I have it out I might as well replace it. The pump has 89,000 miles on it. Do you know anything about the power window switch and or the motor. My driver side won't go up and down anymore. I can control the passenger window with the driver side switch and the mirrors and locks, just the driver window won't work. I know a lot of people have said it's the motor, but I think it's the switch. Just got a felling. I don't want to buy a switch or a motor and not know for sure since you can't take them back since it's electrical. What's the best way to determine if it's the motor or the switch causing the problem? Thanks...
