Sent off the ficm to be fixed plus the atlas 40.

My 2 month old coolant resivoir decided to split on the under side ( thought they cracked up top???) so I'm waiting for that cause no napa had one so it comes from Wisconsin

In between trying to work and keep my house happy (wife) I need to fix a u joint grease the splines in the driveshaft switch the plow from the old truck to this one etc

Thanks again guys, don't know where I'd be without the wealth of knowledge and willing members here.

The cap will vent before you could ever do damage to the degas bottle (unless the bottle is defective).

Did it ever get overheated (like over 230 degrees F)?

Not since I've owned it. But if the stat got stuck closed giving me weird deltas, maybe the sensor didn't get the really hot stuff across it?????

Just REALLY nervous an anxious, I won't be able to drive it till I I get my ficm back some time next week.

finally got the ficm and the bottle back in today. truck seems quieter and smoother. dosent seem that much more powerful even with the atlas 40. lag is much better and it does just keep pulling once the rpms are up.

need to get a blue spring and harpoon the tank to finish up the list of simple mods.

gonna keep running it checking the coolant level and see what happens.
