Wifes van was a head gasket/cracked head deal. I hope that isn't the problem.

Yep, me too. Had this car since 2008 and have never had to change the thermostat. It's got 270K miles on it, so I will try that first.

 

[chocktaw2]

Yep, got plenty of antifreeze.

If it's not losing anti-freeze prbly thermostat as you mentioned.

 

[chocktaw2]

That's a lot of miles.

Could also be the heater core. Mine was plugged and hubby refused to tear apart the dash and do all the labor to change it...flushed it somehow and now it cooks us out of the vehicle!

We got 2" here, lots of drifting. I do, however, think central indiana has forgotten how to salt and plow roads!

 

[GregD]

You have got that right, Frosty. Worst roads I have seen in a long time.

Dang, I think the thermostat is broken in the wifes car. She was complaining the heater wasn't working right.

Just drove it and had it running about 30 minutes. Heat gauge never got abouve the 3/8 notch and normal operating temp is the 1/2 notch or slightly above.

Is it low on coolant????

Local and state is out of money. Been complaining all week.
My thoughts....You budgeted it for the last 10 years, collected the tax, now spend the damn money....oh wait, you spent it elsewhere. Aw gee.
