@Reesey: From what I can see the frigid weather has warmed up to just cold, did your overheating problems resolve themselves? In parts of the country that get winter weather, a coolant check (you can get the Prestone tool at most auto parts stores) at the beginning of the season is a good idea.

Coolant doesn't wear out (as far as it's ability to not freeze) but adding water dilutes it.

Good practice is to use 100% antifreeze when you add to the reservoir. If you're changing out the coolant, use 100% antifreeze and mix it to 50% with distilled water.

That premixed stuff everyone tries to sell you is a sucker's bet. They charge almost the price of the 100% stuff and then cut it with water. Distilled water is $1 a gallon at the grocery or Walmart.

 

Yeah, it didnt resolve itself. I changed out all the problems I found and while doing it I found the thermostat housing was warped and not seating right. Swapped it out with a new one and bam. Right as rain now. Flushed and filled with 3 pure coolant and topped off with DISTILLED water giving me a 70/30 mix. Thanks for all the help and info. It was greatly appreciated. Also threw a full tune up on her.
