  • temp riseing..

    so my friend was driving her car in the nice cool weather not getting on the car at all when she said she saw the temp gauge raise and almost spike, the car wouldnt move and it shook alot!
    from reading most of the threads on here seems like am in for some lil fun.. from hoses to coolant and down to a water pump or raditor..


    figure id throw a heads up and be ready for Questions.. if any one has quick tips drop me a line
