Dear John, Joel & other listees who responded to my delimam, Thanks for all the tips! The dealer (for $58.00) diagonosed the coolant sensor which I alsready suggested as a result of listees suggestions. He said it was the sensor AND said I needed a new Head Gasket ($900.00!) I had the heads rebuilt 25K ago at another shop. I think not. I drove to the shop that did my heads and put it on the hoist and it was dry as a bone! I had that shop order me a sensor and change the belts to give them a little more business since that was due. Thanks for the advice Long live the list Craig Charles 87 Westy gl 118K |
