cabin of the vehicle.? I just replaced the thermostat and this did not seem to help the problem. However the top hose is now getting hot where before it was not. However the radiator cap is not getting hot after the car running for 15 minutes . Is that normal? I can drive the vehicle for about a mile and then it it will start smoking by where the top hose goes into the radiator and it smells of antifreeze. At no time is there any heat inside the vehicle.As you know times r tight and id rather trouble shoot the problem my self if at all possible. Thanks for any advice i would really aprreciate it.
