Re: My truck is dropping temperature when idling?

Re: Engine Temperature question

That is what I was thinking. For all I know it is the original on the truck, I bought it at 68K. I just thought it was odd behavior for the thermostat, in my past experience they just seemed to up...

Re: Ripped Off by Auto Shop what to do?

So if I get a call back saying it is a head gasket should I try a stop leak product ? I have no intention of putting more money in at this point.

Re: Ripped Off by Auto Shop what to do?

I believe they did that with the water pump because they said it was wet all around there. I've done work there before and trusted them. This last time they pressure tested it and couldnt find...

Re: Thoughts on K Seal for Coolant Leak?
