Hey guys - I had posted a while back, and a lot of you helped me out, about my overheating problem with my 2005 GTP and the sloshing behind the dashboard. Now I am having some new, and most likely related issues. Was hoping for any advice or guidance ..
Sloshing sound is gone since I pulled off the heater core hoses and filled it. Thought I had heat after that, but it was temporary. I still have no heat, and when I put my defroster on the windshield I notice a smokey kind of condensation blowing across the windshield. So I am curious, what does all this imply?
Also not 100 positive but sometimes I feel like it may still be running a bit hot (and curious if it is all tied together). One of you mentioned to me that the middle line is around 195, one tick up is 200, 3 ticks is 212 and riht before the redline is 221. Mine appears to sometimes creep up to the second tick past middle (assuming 205 or so) and then I think the fan kicks on because once it gets there is usually comes down to around the middle. Sometimes it just stays one tick above (205). Maybe this is all normal, but after having the overheating problem I am paranoid and watch that gauge all the time, whereas I never looked at it before in years. So maybe its just me. Sometimes I smell antifreeze, but that could be all the antifreeze that spilled all over my motor burning off. It left a ton of stains. I would love to use my A/C since its summer, but I am too worried to overheat again.
thanks for listening and appreciate any advice.
