I own a 1971 chevy C-10 pick-up. Recently the temperature guage pegged to hot. I found a wire hanging under the hood, and assume it goes to the temp sensor, but, I have been unable to locate the exact location of this sensor on the block/head? Can anyone tell me where to look?
Okay, so I've been driving MKIII's for about 5 years. I had 2 '97s with the G11 coolant reservoir but never did I purchase G11 coolant, I simply used the basic stuff you get from Wal Mart. It says that it can be used and mix with any coolant.
Now, I've got a '98 and it has the G12 coolant...
need opinion, what to do? It my dads 2006 Outback 2.5i, (yeah i know, thats the year after the leaking heads were fixed) i do ALL of the maintanance, synthetic oil changes every 3,000-3,500miles. Coolant every 30-35,000 with the conditioner (yes, Subaru's own conditioner) , spark plugs every...
light came on 2 days before.? I have not got the codes yet. Could this be something other than a head or intake gasket since it never ever overheated? Does anyone know if 99 ford 5.4 L's had a epidemic of bad intake gaskets?

Anyways I got the Prestone 50/50 prediluted antifreeze/coolant that says it'll work on all makes, all model, mix to any color antifreeze so I'm good to go?
...you can use other then dexcool? While replacing my thermostat and filling my radiator with dexcool the temp gauge seem to be running worse. SO after some research I have found that the Dexcool has been known to cause several problems in these GM vehicles. Is it ok to use the 50/50 mix in...
My coolant temp gauge doesn't seem to work all the time. Occasionally in traffic it shows coolant is getting hot, but otherwise it just sits on the stop like the ignition was turned off. Is this normal?
My Ion quit running the other night and would not restart. Actually left me in the middle of a mountain highway and the CHP had to push me to a turnout. The odometer screen said power start, then coolant.
After towing it home it started back up agian and i let it run for about 20 min with no...
the truck just came back from being serviced with $1500 worth of work and the low coolant light is now coming on. Had it checked at oil place, plenty of coolant/full. How can someone change their own sensor? Does this sound like a bad sensor? Is there anywhere to find a pic of where this...
at first i thought it was the coolant sensor next to the Thermostat housing i thought it was that also but their was no leak so their was no reason to take it apart it seems like its coming from the left around the the thermostat housing but i don't see any gasket any idea if any one has a...
Here is my situation...I replaced the water-pump and thermostat on my 1996 jeep Cherokee about 2 months ago . I checked the coolant level for a few weeks afterwords, and everything looked great. Well, 3 weeks ago, I was up north on a fishing trip, and the Temperature got down to -20 F. one...
I was driving my 99 Saab 9-5 SE V6 recently and the heat stopped working and then i smelt a real bad burning smell and when i got home my coolant reservoir was bone dry. This was obviously causing the heater problem but i then filled up the coolant which remained in the reservoir overnight and...
