Check the coolant level again. If it has droped. The heater core is probably the prob. I don't know the cost of repair. If I recal right it wasn't that expensive on the GTP. So the GT should be cheeper.

I would say that it took two or three days to go away. I checked recently and it didn't feel damp.

So the GT should be cheeper. Its going in to the shop on Monday, wish I could have gotten it in a little sooner but that was the best I could do. Probably could have gotten it in quicker at the Pontiac dealer in the town Im in but I think they over charged me a little for my starter. I know they would have for the tires they wanted to put on, wanted to do a full set for around 800, and two of them were fine.

If the water is gone then. It could be something simple. A temp sensor to kick the fans on, or the thermistat. Next time you drive it and it starts to get hot. Kick the AC on. It will kick on the fans. If temp still climbs turn the heat on to draw out the heat through the heater core.

Thanks, I don't think I'll have any problems with it getting to warm, its the stop and go city driving that really warms it up and I don't really have any of that to do between now and then. As long as it stays under 300-400 I'll only be slightly ticked.

Theres some but I can avoid that but going a alternate route which of course I will. probably going to tick off my mom cause I promised her I'd get my hair whacked (I hate getting that taken care of) this past Monday, but well with my car not running quite right I didn't feel like I should make unnecessary trips so its been to work and home for the last few days, just a 7 minute drive. I'm at least thankful the cars been paid for for two years or this would have been messier.

A animated character that has the exact same personality mannerisms and what not as my girlfriend will always get my attention. If only JL was on when I was a teen. I'd have known what I was after then.

I use to be like that till my girlfriend trained me to be a night owl. She still pokes fun at me for saying I have to go to bed no later then ten back when we first met. Now I usually don't go till around 2 or 3 in the morning. Wind down time from second shift. I get up at 10 or so every morning. Man do I really like these hours, normal sleep schedule is so much better then trying to force yourself to sleep which is what I was doing two months ago. Two nights of third then three nights of second with one of those second shift nights alternating between tuesday and Thursday. Man that sucked. Oh well talk to you later.

Oh that was for a 16 hour shift too, then I got the privelege of working third the next day.(LOL) Go get yourself some sleep. Later.

(carwise) Give me five minutes I could have another crisis for you to help me with. ![](http://img8.photobucket.com/albums/v28/gunman_sr5/lol.gif) I do appreciate the help though guys, I'm like the anti-gearhead. I'm lucky that I know where to put the gas. Ok not that bad, but close.

as long as you can figure out how to transform a TF, nothing else matters around here.(RID excluded)

I'm with you there...I will have a perpetual car payment the rest of my life....I had my Grand Am for 9 years, but when it crapped out, it did it in a big way and we basically limped it to the dealership to trade it in on an Explorer Sport. OK...so I didn't know that you had to have the transmission fluid changed on any schedule...it varnished on the inside and the debris eventually broke loose and the car got stuck in 2nd gear on the way to trade it in...it would only go in reverse...but they at least gave me $1000.00 for it...I just bought a Honda Element...I call it my own Transformer....because it is such a versatile vehicle....
But after all the problems I had with the Grand Am, I decided a car payment is not so bad, so i buy a new car every 3 or 4 years. I loved not having a car payment for about 5 years, but I know nothing about cars...like you, probably just know where to put the gas and check the oil....

I have alot of trouble with the BW stuff. Not really any problems with the bulk of RiD.
My major problem of the night is what should I get at the grocery. I'm staying away from the ones with a toy department, must conserve cash and I'm weak willed when I see somethign I want even if it will be in stores for awhile.
