Default Re: Strange cooling problem

Hi Hooligan & Crewzin, Wasn't using the a/c, only time I checked it with a/c on was to see if fan came on. After I posted, a friend of mine, bled the radiator with the bleeder valve, could hear/feel air coming out. Still on high side of temp gauge, finally took cap off, engine still cool, fluid was not up to top, put more in and still bleeding with valve, temp went down. Bottom hose and radiator heated up. Took for test drive, stayed at the level on gauge. Must be it keeps sucking air from somewhere or they didn't get it all out? Still can't figure out why it doesn't pull the overflow fluid back into radiator after cooldown. Could it be my dumb luck to have a bad head gasket. My ss sure won't handle that. Appreciate your feedback and suggestions. So far so good at the moment, but it took almost 5 days for it to show up before, sooooo. OH and vacuum leak from where other than head gasket?
