Well I replaced the water pump today. A bit involved. Remove wheel, power steering pump and reservoir, alternator and crankshaft pulley.
Pulled the pump off and it was good. So back to the drawing board on the root cause.
And to top it off I got it a tooth out of time so I gotta do it all over again. Replaced the radiator since I had a new all metal one on hand.

Now it’s going to be dark when I get home after work.

It overheats but only at low rpm. Speed doesn’t affect it. Fans work. Thermostat has been replaced. Not using coolant. I don’t suspect a head gasket but I guess I ought to do a compression test. Head gasket ought to get worse with higher rpm. And my issue gets better at high rpm.
Getting worse. Last winter the only symptom was the heat wouldn’t blow hot at idle. Makes me think it is a flow issue.

May sound dumb but have you checked the heater core?
 
Good morning, insomniac Misfits! It's been raining here, supposed to rain pretty much all day. Sitting in my favorite chair, smoking a bowl. My baby has a pain management appointment at 11 am, and we have to travel 85 miles each way. Plus the wait time in the office, which takes forever...
 
Good morning brothers and sisters!

Cloudy with rain here starting at 44F and predicted to reach 57F.

Gym first thing this morning, first morning dog walk, lab work for my bi-annual checkup, and then the cleaning ladies are coming today instead of Wednesday this week, so me and Miss Layla will be headed out to the dog park while they work.
