For those of you with coolant loss issues.

Yeah, id be stunned if the thermostat fell apart, but FYI to anyone reading this, 160o is too cold of a T-Stat lol.

I was unsure what temp to get and just took the one that they recommended at the store (160), needless to say I was back in their a few weeks later after my MPG plummeted since a 160 Tstat kept it from ever hitting operating temp, also froze due to really poor heater lol.

Got me a 195 or so and its tons better

hehe 195* is the factory tstat

I did a full coolant flush including heater core just before it got cold (about 5 weeks ago) I spent the other night in the 30 degree rain working by the light from the headlights replacing my T in the middle of a parking lot cause it snapped in half and blew coolant all over the engine bay.

When i did the flush i checked the T and it had no signs or cracks or weakness, the other night it fell apart in my hands.

I have had the T go in both my 93 devilles, both times i wasnt at home either lol.

Now that I've read that, I feel better about mine going (t-valve) in the middle of the day in 80 degree temps. LOL.

Glad I could make someone feel good

Now who wants to help me fix my breaks tomorrow?

High will be 34 with a chance of freezing rain, oh and I dont have a garage lol


Needless to say they wont get done, I will just use that car to jumpstart my other deville and drive it instead. The one with bad brakes is getting a whopping 12 MPG since the breaks are sticking real bad.

I think karma made me pay for that LOL commit I made. My fuel gauge no longer flashes E (you know when you have one gallon left.) So I'm driving along thinking when it starts flashing E I'll fill'er up. (like I always do). Not this time I sputtered to a stop a mile from any gas station. I was able to use what little was there was to make it within 100 feet of the pump. So I'm pushing my car to the pump and some teenage blonde b*tch pulls into the pump in front of me. It was a fun day. Would anyone know what would cause your data center not to flash E anymore?
