What's a new forum w/o an 'overheating' thread? The wife and I were de-Christmas decorating and ready to wring each other's necks when I said, "It's nice out, let's take Sweet Pea for a run." Well we cruised some back roads and a limited access and cruised for miles at 60. Awwwww. She purred, (Sweet Pea I mean) But as I glanced over, the wife was smiling too. She kept say, "Let's go down this road", or "Turn here." We were having a ball and as the sun starting setting it got a little cooler. I had been watching the thermo and it never went over 160 even at slow speeds. Oil pressure was great. Well I could tell the boss was getting cold so I reached up and threw on the heat. Almost immediately Sweet Pea went up to 190+. had me worried due to the rate of climb, but she stayed there. When we got home, wife still smiling.. , a good thing, I checked the radiator level and added about a quart of 50/50.
So...? I always thought that if a car was overheating you were suppose to turn on the heater to lower it. I hear about that when you're driving in hot weather and you start to overheat.
Any thoughts?
Suppose to be 70 here tomorrow... can you say...Tee-Time?
