after replacing both drive pulleys and the tensioner and the belt adding antifreeze etc... mechanic never did what i asked run a hose through system because i put toomuch bars stop leak in not the pellets thick stryupy liquid

SO after all that and driving back home twice and back to the yard still over heating.

Doge calibers have 2 thermostats the one on outside smaller easy to remove the other one hard need to pull off the whole tube and replace it thats the one i think is closed and will not open

for sure it has to be because the resvoir tank stays full and when put hand on radiotor cap it's cold also can be an air pocket causing problems but when opening the thermostat that will remove any air pocket if not can burp system open up the valve until looses then add antifreeze and you will hear hisssssssssssss of air escaping

Total cost now this parts plus $250 charged labor $420 more plus the 62$ for thermo stats and $55 to mechnic who works on his own coming after he done work today guy at yeard told me to get him said he's very good mechanic

IT's rough cause wife is creaming at me last night and i got angrier banging fist on desk what you goona do with no money coming in from me Xtra $2500 a month huh?

YOU want to buy presnts for ne wbaby born to nephew b day presmnt for nepwhew and nices grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I told her you get all money back from me but im laste car payments one feb march is due also $500 then car insurance $131 = $631 then life insurance $58 like alomost $700 needed two weeks ssi money dont come until 28th of month and even tho it's higher at $479 and also getting $$ into cannibis stocks like forget gambling rest of march

SO mechanic came to me today at about 4 :30 took aprt the themostat housings the small one out side was fucked up that jerkoff put back and the inner large one was'nt there ???

so drove to shoprite and temp gauge stayed cold but no heat bought gal of antifreeze oly $12.95 put it in car but even tho temp was up heat was weak so knowing need to give gas to get it flowing

boom it worked called mechanic he told me after cools down check raditor make sure fluid is still full so i said fuck it ate dinner will do it tomorry ...

fucking simple job that j o latino fucked up and the batter terminals were loose guess thats why auto zone system check read battery voltage low so much money that yard charged me $250 and the parts total cost was $420

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr car overheated still on hgway speeds 50-60 mph so worked all day yestrday and talked to mechnic said you have clogged radiator ...yup of course i caused it with bars leaks 2 bottels i put in ..so cheap fix just long process 1st open the drain plug at bottom of radiotr then pour in water and add the flush stuff prestone super flush driver car around for 15 mins so it works through whole system should not overheat then cool it down empty it out then put in antifreeze ....hoping i can save old antifreeze from resivor tank and maybe what i drain from radiator

even so gal of full concentrate anti freeze shop rite brand only $12.95 the mechanic never did what i asked him he kept saying might blow hoses and other things in car obviously bad yard

I'm 67 years old, been driving since I was 16, and I have never opened the radiator cap for any reason on any car I have ever driven.

Scooty is ok but not great anyway guys today bought prestone super flush as saw on u tube removed drain plaug t drain radiotr NOTHING CAME out that sealed it radiotor was clogged so removed top hose and shot hose through radiortar then had tough time putting drain plug back in after adding the super flush ...

lil tap on vice grips it went in lo my hands were freezing from the water so aftere i got it sealed up and made sure no leaks started it up all videos on u tube showed differnt on guy said drive at high speeds 60 - 70 mph for like 25 mins others said idle the car for 10 - 20 mins so i'm watching the guage move idleed for 40 mins it never even got to midd mark

Before at idle it kinda went up above mid mark then came down ...... but never below the mid mark ... Hoping tomorrow soon as i hit i 95 i know if fixed cant see it overheating at hi speeds anymore

The only thing i didnt do was drain system again because there was no rust in system so the super flush will keep system clean and just wear off

funny i bought gal of antfreeze but didnt need it wonder if they take it back lol only $12.95 any way full strength shoprite brand

pray for me today i'll be strating out at 12 30 to start at 1 pm sundays get very lil action late dies off after 11 pm .
