happens is.. it dosnt over heat .. the temp noramal
drving is little over the middle of the bulb to the
end of the bulb .. when climbin up hill it gos little
farther away from the bulb but not too bad it cools
down when i get to top .. highway driving same .. the
needle is at the end of the bulb .. but still blowing
cold air.. after i get out of the van i do notice a
smell of rad fluid and the res tank is little over the
max but. .when i come back to it .. when it is cold ..
the res tank is down in the middle of max and min. ...
i still get no heat at all i do the oddest times . but
it dosnt last long ..  i drove it from hamilton to TO
