Dave,
It has been running about 1/2 hour on the driveway. The temp is staying
aroung 140-150. I have removed the cap and the fluid is moving around
however there are no bubbles that I can see. I have re-tested the mix and
it is now rated to +25 so I think I can add a little more coolant. Any
other things to take a look at?
Thanks,
Jim House
