Yes. The fans are running.
I checked the oil, it's not milky
Fans work

The only thing is my water pump
Or thermostat.
I checked my heater and it's blowing cold air.

Hottest from the first time spiked 285.
Normal for me is 200
Fans work and all.
Oil not milky.
I removed it just now and the inner o riding is damaged like it ate it up and is on the inner part of the o ring.

Will do. For now, I have no replacement but I'll do a test run to see if it's that. After I burp the system.

It's hot here so I was told I don't need no thermostat, but I'll get one still cause I want to be complete with my system

That's pretty common on the base model to my experience I replaced it like 3 times in the 5 years I owned it in the lnf I haven't had to touch it. Was your a.c. working? Mine wouldn't would just throw air

That's the fisrt thing to fail. I have had 2 OEM units fail in a year and my second stuck mostly shut. If my engine ever goes over 225 something is wrong.

It's still going high temps.
Ima get a service on coolant flush.
As well as oil change.
I have a new reservoir coming in, but it might take a few weeks.
