Question

I love this site: anyway my question is i live in pa and recently it hasn't got above 32degrees and i think there's something wrong w/ my car!?

Well the car dosn't seem to warm up?????
I replaced the thermostat and the heat is fine and my rad gets warm but my car is always condensating???????????? Even after driving for like 1/2 hour!

I already checked my oil and anti-freeze for a head gasket leak and no water in the oil any suggestions!?? Maybe my car just runs like that it is cold!!!!!!???? Oh well it runs good and help is great!
i did about a half of hour interstate driving but it was only 15 degrees out and at 50mph i guess its cold
Also what trans fluid would i run and what rear fluid do i need

I have a A-855 i think and a 8 3/4 3.91 sure grip rear???


THANKS AGAIN!

Have you checked to see if you pcv is pulsing ? Or, if you don't have one anymore, put it back in. Check your breather caps to see if they're not cruded up.

Trans fluid ??

Rear ??

I just recognize the bottles when I buy it, don't remeber the variety or viscosity- sorry

are you just driving around town or is a half hour on the interstate? just around town or on side roads you may not really get the whole system hot enough. i've had cars that would only do that for a few minutes, and i do remember a certain truck i had with stacks that on cold days left two white trails behind me for miles before it'd get hot enough to disappear.

I believe it should be on the drivers side valve cover. Unless it has been modified that is. cruzerjd
