Maybe just a little.

 

Has anyone asked the obvious question?


Have you had to fill up your radiator or overflow tank very often?

 

Well I have but I have also done a lot of work to the cooling system.

2 months ago i replaced the timing cover gasket and 4 weeks ago i replaced the water pump, bled the system as best as i could and within 2 after doing that i noticed the water level dropped about 1 1/2 inchs from full to low. However i think that could have been because i didnt bleed all the air out and eventually it came out on its own.. Before i did all the work tho to this as far as the cooling system no the level never went down in the year i had it. 2 days ago tho the o ring on the bypass tube started to leak so i replaced that again and refilled the system. So i guess i just need to keep driving it and watch it..

Zman has a point tho i can be overly paranoid about my vehicle... its just that its the only thing i have to make money and i dont want it to break on me so i've fixing everything thats been going bad on it.

I have another issue with it where the front tires are wearing out on the outside quickly... so fast in fact in another 7k miles they will be gone... I had an alingment done fixed the 4WD, had all the joints checked and its still doing it. But thats another story..
