Car is looking great, it must be TIRE day, cause I put a set on mine this morning.

A good tire, don't get mad if they burn off quicker because of auto x.

 

[lsxftw]

yeah i know, auto x is a lot of abuse, but i really dont plan on doing tons of events with this car.

I had continentals on before these Falkins

 

[lsxftw]

Oh Jeff I love your pumpkin!!!

There are a couple different continental tires out there, I got the higher end one

So my coolant is low again, this time really low......no leaks that i can see and the oil looks fine

Does anyone have any ideas where it could be going??

The coolant monster. Sorta like the cookie monster but for coolant

No

I am no monster well only on the weekends.

 

[lsxftw]

uts guys are not helpin

Oil look good? You sure there's no leaks?

 

[ericspecullaas]

Im thing you may have a lim problem.

Im thing you may have a lim problem.

That's a 3800 issue. So unless your leaking from the water pump or coolant resovoir issue I would say you might have a internal issue

 

[ericspecullaas]

It could even be a small pin hole in the radiator that leaks when under pressure

 

[LeadfootCJ7]

Do you have a pressure tester? It has helped me find several small leaks. Just be careful not too over pressure the system or you can cause more problems.

 

[lsxftw]

Okay so after doing some research i think it might just need to good flush, i dont know the last time or if it has ever been done and its approaching 100k

Also you guys think i should switch to Ethylene-Glycol (the green stuff)?

 

[ericspecullaas]

Yes go green lol a flush never hurt

 

[lsxftw]

Yes go green lol a flush never hurt

You think its easy enough to do myself or should i just take it somewhere?

 

[stealthee]

I would guarantee you can do it yourself.
