Good morning! Well, not so good. We are supposed to get snowed on today and tomorrow They are expecting 5 to 10 inches over the next 2 days. I was planning on going home tomorrow to have my grandpa take a look at my car

I'm envious.

I hate fall. Winter needs to hurry up.

Good day all.

I'm mainly taking the day off to study since I don't have class. It's really muggy outside due to all the recent rain as well.

This weekend is tent camping with the Cub Scouts. Not happy that it looks like it's going to be a wet one.

I'm Tiger Den Leader this year. Here's my nine Tigers from our first Den Meeting.

Speaking of scouts, I never knew about the 1933 Goudey Boy Scout set until recently. Definitely going to have to add at least one of these to my PC.

Rodrick ; beware all the moving vans coming your way due to our mess in DC

I've heard that it's become like a ghost town... dudes in suits carrying briefcases wandering the streets with nowhere to go.

Lol. Don't they do that anyway?

Boy Scout cards? Guess they've made them for everything I suppose

Lol. I live in southeast Alaska. 600 miles north of Seattle. In the dead of winter it gets light around 9:30am and dark again by 3 pm. Funny the difference 600 miles makes . And it gets worse the further north you go

I can attest to this. I was stationed in Fairbanks for approx. 7 1/2 years. In the middle of winter, the sun would spend 1 1/2 to 2 hours a day above the horizon with temps maxing out at an average of -10 to -20 degrees. The summers would somewhat make up for it with 21 to 22 hours a day of sunlight and temps in the high 70's and low 80's.

Started making plans with a Boston area friend. He is doing a baseball stadium bucket list. So next season he will be coming out this way and he and I will go to Oakland, San Fran, and down to LA, Anaheim, and San Diego! Doin the California Ballpark tour! Very hard to schedule it when not all teams are home at the same time. But we are making it work. Came up with three different plans. Now we just need to nail down the details. Lookin forward to it!

If we have time, we may swing by Burbank since we will be in the area.

Well snow or shine I will not be heading home tomorrow. My car overheated driving halfway across town, and that's only about a mile. It's been acting up the last couple of weeks, but never like it has today. The whole reason I was going home was to have my grandpa, who used to have his own shop, take a look at the car and see if he could figure out what's going on. Now its either I go to a shop in town, or see if he would be able to come up sometime on one of his days off. I really don't want to pay too much to get it fixed.

michaelstepper · Oct 3, 2013

Ok guys need help. Thanks to the eBay bucks thread I forgot I had coming. Spent way to much lately but I have enough to cut the cost of one of these in half. Which one do I pick up

There's plenty more in my watch list but I keep passing over these two and regret it. Cast your vote!

zach - A couple of things to check...

is your fan kicking on?
does the upper hose feel the same temp as the lower?
does the face of the radiator feel the same temperature across its entirety, or is it cold in spots, and hot elsewhere?

See that's the problem. My dad and I haven't been able to figure out why the fans aren't kicking on. They don't run while the car is running, but once I shut the car off, one fan kicks on for a few minutes but the other one doesn't.

4 CYL OR V6?

Sorry to hijack the thread guys.

Well, after looking up both motor options, I show just one fan and shroud for the car. And usually if the fan isnt kicking on when it is running, the fan switch has failed. My listings show a switch either in the block, or one in the thermostat housing. I am leaning to the housing, since there is a threaded port in it for such a switch. You can bypass this switch with just a 1 inch piece of wire, and insert it into the plug. The fan should kick on. If it doesnt, the there could be an issue with the fan relay, or the fan motor itself.

See, I was leaning towards the switch as well. My grandpa mentioned something about it. The only problem is being in a dorm room I don't have any extra wire laying around. But I'll have to give this a shot. Thanks a bunch for the help! Today, and yesterday
