[QUOTE="COBRA90GT, post: 2583859, member: 2348"] Perhaps it was a "stuck" thermostat then. Do you know if they filled the cooling system at the vent plug location in the coolant crossover tube this final time (which is the correct way btw)? Maybe they filled your system at the overflow tank the first two times (incorrect way). BTW - Why the 160 t-stat? Did the shop recommend this? From what I've heard, it's not really going to help much (for performance reasons) since your radiator fan will still kick on at the same "low" and "high" temperatures, respectively speaking. Some have said a 160 t-stat is too low for these engines since they make their best power at full operating temperature. Regardless, it sounds like you may have cured your cooling issues for now but if it starts to overheat again, you may want to try draining/refilling the cooling system yourself to make sure it is done properly (and also burp the system via the vent plug soon afterwards to remove any air pockets). Just some food for thought, g'luck. :beer: [/QUOTE]
