PM'ed

 

thank for the info.

 

damn.. so just by changing the thermo out actually stopped the fans from runnin all the time??? thats freakin wild.. i thought the thermostat was just controlled by the heat of the coolant.. nothin electrical

 

Yes, my thermostat was stuck 'open' so it was telling the coolant fans to run all the time because it was apparently reading hot or some crazy crap. My engine coolant never got above 160* when the thermostat was bad. I thought at first it was just the cold weather. but had it checked out just in case and sure enough, bad thermostat.

 

sweet dude! thanks for the help! ive got a thermo in my trunk.. so i guess ill slap that bish on and see what happens.. its gonna be a pain in tha dick to do tho..

 

So i was talking to a GM mechanice yesterday about why my TVS coolant resevoir would empty out so quickly. He said it could just be a hose leak which to check I might have to take out the blower to check, it could be my intercooler, or my radiator. Any mechanics in the hoouse for this one?

 

Are you saying your problem only happened in cold weather? because thats what mine does and im trying to find out if its the thermostat or the ECM

 

What are the syptoms of a bad thermostat low coolant temp what about the slow loss of coolant ?

 

Anyone?

 

just replace the thermostat. i just did and it works great now. its the thermostat almost every single time. they just suck on our car

 

but u think that would casue a slow loss of coolant ?

 

How much coolant have you poured into the system? It will appear to be empty as the air bleeds out of the system, and you will need to keep filling it until it no longer goes down.

 

you probably have 2 problems but IDK
