I DO drive it, that's why I notice it's running hot....                                  





                                   that and my personal mechanic told me he thought it did too...     #@rofl3




Taking her out later... figure today will be a good day to check that heat since it will only feel like it's in the 20s all day  ..

With all of those symptoms, it sounds too hot !!!!! Look to make sure there is nothing behind the engine blocking the fan intake.  WITH OUT THE ENGINE RUNNING !!!!!
