STILL OVERHEATING!! Thermostat and bleed, PLEASE HELP!!

[fastestbrickonearth]

I wanna update you guys that chimed in with your wisdom. I ended up pulling the t-stat and replacing. Topped out fluids again then started the bleeding process again. It's a great day. Not gonna lie, I was puckering for a good while thinking about that head gasket. Kept thinking the worst. She back and alive again. Now to detail the engine from all the fluid splatter everywhere.

Good job homie

Great to hear and glad you fixed it yourself bud! Always feels great doesn't it?:burnout:

Hell yeah it does. I've had some awful experiences with shops around town trying to play you for a fool saying it needs this and that part. I've caught one red handed turning a 1 hour job in to a 7 hour service ticket. Little did they know I would pay for diagnosis and turn the wrenches myself, only after getting a second test run at a different place.

Isn't this place awesome?

It's the greatest. I've been a member since day one of purchase and never bothered checking in with several other issues. Should have came here years ago for advice.

so you had a faulty thermostat?

Yes bad t stat and re topped fluids again. The vacuum process was so much easier this time around.
