    Felt that so hard

    Finally got some overtime, a whole 32 hours. On my way home my car started overheating for no reason… Well there’s probably a reason but I don’t know it. There’s coolant in there so idk

      I had this phase of my life as well. Some sweat and wrenching on things yourself can pay off big sometimes. And now with YouTube a lot of the time you can learn exactly what you need. Might be hard though if you’re working that much overtime

      A blown headgasket could be the worst culprit. Less expensive is the cooling fan(s) and/or fan controller could have died, or the water pump failed somehow. Even cheaper is the thermostat, or the serpentine belt.

      Maybe you already got it resolved, but just in case for those who might need some guidance… There you go.
