[Weasel]

Does it do this when you are on the highway, or only in stop and go ?  I ask
because I blew a fuse on my fans and that caused major temp fluctuations ...

> Hi,

keep

> Top radiator hose is hot, bottom hose is warm - easy to hold in hand.
> Jet of hot water spraying into expansion tank (means water pump is
working?)
> Forcing water into radiator - gushes out the other hose.
