Thanks for all your help guys. I'm going to start working on this here in
about 10 minutes. As for checking the hoses. Do I just need to check the 2
hoses going to and from the engine and radiator and the 2 heater hoses? Is
there another hose I should be checking?
Again thanks for all your help guys. I will let you know how it goes.
