: I have a 97 Chevy Venture. It has
: been overheating on me. I brought it
: to one mechanic who replaced the
: water pump, radiator hose and
: thermostat. That did not fix it. I
: brought it somewhere else where they
: rodded out the radiator, changed the
: thermostat AGAIN, ran some sort of
: sealer through it because I had a
: very very small head gasket leak.
: The van did fine for 3 days and then
: overheated again. When it overheats,
: it does it VERY quickly. I pull
: over and pop the hood and the
: plastic overflow tank is completely
: full and the radiator, of course, is
: not. Eventually, the van cools off
: and the water goes back to the
: radiator. I can crank it up again,
: once it cools off and sometimes it
: overheats again, within a minute,
: and sometimes it does not. I can
: sometimes drive for hours without
: the needle even going to the halfway
: mark, and then there are times I
: can’t even drive half a mile without
: the needle pegging out in the red.
: Any ideas? I have spent over 800.00
: so far and am getting very
: frustrated, not to mention BROKE.
