[QUOTE="Apats77, post: 1037979, member: 74802"] Towed it to the garage with a tow strap. Had it running in neutral. Usually it doesn’t overheat. It did right as we pulled up. We thought we should check the temp of each hose on the radiator one was 50 (upper) lower was 90. Engine block temp ave was 110 and exhaust right at the manifold was 200. Coolant from the radiator top was barely warm to the touch. Clearly air bound and/or stat isn’t opening. just got a vacuum kit to draw out the air and fill coolant again. Will be ordering austekk shortly. Fingers crossed. Might as well cross my damn toes too. Edit: plug looked perfect and compression in that cylinder was 182 [/QUOTE]
