I could have fixed it with one phone call. I know a good mechanic who will come to your house and fix stuff and he charges a lot less than a repair shop. $50 an hour vs $90 to $110. I found him on Craigslist and he has been my mechanic since 2007.

I might start my own business using that model.

Shoot me his email. If you used him.

His name is Mike Wicker. He stays pretty busy so it could take him a couple of days before he can get to you. He is a lot better than the other mechanics I have used on Clist.

Don't have his email but his phone # is
225-806-3741

What’d you do?

I'd imagine nothing but he thinks he did which is all I strive for as well.

Never thought to use one but I may. Thanks.

Does he consider work in CA? Lol.

Thought about it for a minute. The water pump had to be good because it wasnt leaking.

So I put it back on then blasted the heater lines as well as the radiator lines.

Put it all back together with a new thermostat and she works fine. No longer over heating. The heater core probably still has some of that shit because I am getting some back flow through the tube but I think that eventually that will fix itself.

If not I'm sure I will hear about in the winter when the heater blows cold air.

You normally recognize my veiled compliments.
