I know the temp gage is not a true measure of temperature. Here is the problem. At highway speeds. the needle drops below the "C". But at slower speeds and at stops, the engine is getting hot and the needle kinda rises and falls. I had a leak 6 months ago and put in stop leak and that seemed to fix the problem But now my antifreeze is brown. So I was just going to change it since it had been a few years. When I drained the radiator, only about a 1/2 gallon came out. I guess I expected around 3 gallons to come out.
So any idea on my problem is appreciated. Next I plan to disconnect the lower hose and see how much will drain from the engine.
Thanks,
