Ok Ken, I have to ask this one.  Do you still continue to fill the  expansion
tank (one behind
the license plate) even after the coolant reservoir is full?  From  when I
first got mine it has
always ran with the reservoir full, and any coolant you put in the  expansion
tank always either
drips on the ground, runs to the reservoir filling it all the way to the
top, or dissapears?  I.E.
my expansion tank is always empty.  I have never bled my system, so  could
this be a factor?
Btw, my van is not running hot.  Thanks for any advice.
