Re: Ideas to get car to run cooler??

yep im guessin it has to be the headgasket!! Drove her home today on the freeway and as soon as i got out of the nice weather and back to my desert weather it pretty much overheated really bad the entire time every time i started to slow down. So yea time for a head gasket and some head studs...

And of course all of a sudden today it feels slightly slower and its wanted to over heat a couple times!! ---- DONT TELL ME I BLEW ANOTHER ONE!! It was a autozone headgasket.. maybe that was it! ----!

blown headgasket and overheating the head needs to go to the machine ship to get decked its just the right way of doing it and at around 60 bucks its worth it

****, cut out the ------dom, okay? For a given airspeed of 100 mph, the velocity exiting your core is ~17 mph. 17 mph of 35+ over the legal limit on the highway to accomplish a worthless 17 mph of airflow across the radiator.
