Subject:Help with coolant system
From:Daniel Danrich
Date:Thu, 25 Jan 2001 09:39:13 -1000

I've own my 87 GL since new and it now has 211,000 miles on it, new engine
now, never replace the radiator and I was wondering if its time to do so
because of the slow traffic/hi altitude over heating. The expansion tank
when it over heats empties into the overflow tank and exposes the sensor and
the red like begins to blink. If I relive the cap on the expansion tank I
can get the coolant to suck back the expansion tank. I had to do this all
the way home the other day when I went in to hi altitude roads.
Any help will be appreciated
Dan
