I normally order everything from Nalley and their free shipping is on anything over $25.00. I just ordered a tank Saturday

 

I agree jnjsardy......a pretty great bunch of guys here
Don't let it go to your head though....lol

PS - A quick reply back here once sorted would be cool!

 

Norri!
I agreed with jagtastic early-on for a tank change......but when the thread took a turn toward tooling purchases, I say never waste a repair on tools you can buy with pocket-change and not need spouse-approval!
Besides, she's going to need the camera anyway to find 11 yrs ' worth of treasure hiding alongside the center console.

 

She may prefer not to know what's down there!

 

hehe..true. true...who was it? BFSGross or Michael Star? someone else? who was finding "gentlemen's wrappers" in theirs? Can't recall, but pretty sure it was an STR..and guys....no defamation intended if I misremembered!

 

you guys are funny! No, no extra tools or cameras, my little guy was sick so I had mommy duties. and FYI it wasn't as easy as letting my 10 year old do it LOL I had to fight the hose off, probably should have just sliced it off.

considering I'm the second owner and the previous was a 70+ year old women nah I dont need the camera.

ok so I picked up the new thermostat yesterday, and I need to start on that so I have that taken care of before the new tank comes, any advice?

 

check for any buldgeing hoses just after the hose clamps. Replace any hoses showing signs of buldgeing.

 

I too have been having similar issues... Its not the fan; its not the water pump; we changed the thermostat and bled the system. But my 2001 S Type V8 still overheats and dumps out the antifreeze I put in. Sometimes it overheats after a five minute drive sometimes not at all, but when I take it out at lunch time by the time I get out of work there's a pool of coolant stretching from the front driver's side all the way back....

 

Although you have history of coolant loss on the vehicle and good reason to believe this is still an issue, make sure the pool you're seeing is definitely coolant and not the drain from the AC. The AC drains emerge either side of the transmission bellhousing.

Thought it was a hot flush LOL
