97 Gtp Questions

I got my coolant flushed in december & at the end of march I noticed it was already dirty & my car was overheating so I took it back & they flushed it again but the car is still overheating sometimes, the coolant level seems to be low but my low coolant doesnt come on & I don't seem to be leaking anything... any ideas?

Also I figured out the clunk its making is from the struts, can anybody give me a price guesstimate?

I tried the headlight thing where you sand it down & polish it & it didnt work, they're still dull as hell... where can I get a cheap set of headlight covers?

Any help is appreciated!

Thermostat.

A failing tstat can fail to open at the correct times leading to your car running too cool or too hot. You should be able to pick up a replacement tstat for your car for around $10. If I were you that would be my next logical step.

They are very easy to install as well.

You could also have an intake manifold gasket that is bad allowing oil into the coolant. Also did you use the recommended lubricant. I've heard that these cars are very susceptible to the wrong coolant. Dex-cool is the recommended but I've read in a thread that there is a prestone coolant that meets the requirements.
