Update, went through the engine bay and found 2 problems, 1st was the radiator hose behind the alternator had a loose clamp on it, and 2nd the fan shroud was not put back on properly. Replaced the clamp and remounted the shroud. Seems to be running fine, added a 2nd gauge which is tied into the...

It doesn't work

I'm running a programmer that plugs into the obd, want to put a mechanical gauge in but don't know where the water jackets are. I bought it a year and a half ago with a busted transmission so that was priority to fix, actually overlooked the cooling system until the end because I only ran it...

198000, it dropped fairly quick within about 2 minutes from 248 to 207

Coolant is orange, I may just flush it out since it seems it wasn't taken really good care of before I got it. Let's just say 3 coils were bad and I found a bill for $900 for brake repair

I checked at the overflow. I just went out to look again and this time I took the radiator cap off and had to add about 3/4 of a gallon so I'm assuming now that there is a leak somewhere but the dipstick did show any sign of water in the oil so I'll test drive it tomorrow and crawl around and...

also i noticed how loud the fan was, not that it was loud but was holding longer than before, like and old hotrod with a clutchless fan in it

coolant level is good, did notice a leak on the passenger side hose by the pipe awhile ago, the heater hose had a pinhole in it, fixed that. Just today there was a puddle after i saw the temp get near the 260 mark, the digital gauge was reading 252. So another question is if there is air in the...

im trying to figure out where to start with trouble shooting my overheating problem. the gauge started reading over 220 while idling got up to around 243 the other day, put it in neutral and revved it to around 1200rpm and it dropped to around 209, it also goes down when driving. Not today it...

UPDATE!!!! She runs! If y'all watch the video by May05lt he states if you stick a probe into the fuse block that is wider than the opening you will be in a world of shit. Guess what... he was right. I have never pulled that relay until this happened, so after watching the video and testing ALL...

Yeah, I have a Chilton's manual that has it

That's what's getting me, I'm hoping I don't have to change either one unless its needed for an 06 head swap. Like I mentioned earlier the only codes I'm getting are for HVAC and lumbar

It was running fine until I took the instrument cluster out and tried to start it, the ignition switch was changed just over a year ago because I read it could have been a reason for the transmission not to shift into gear, it was the pump. The neutral safety switch was replaced because I broke...

Also thanks for the link about the no crank no start, I'm still looking into the reason for not starting, will keep y'all posted

B1850 is the only persistent code that keeps popping up, read through the faqs and watched some videos so going to try to track down the problem
