Default RE: Cooling System Question

Well I went out tonight and saw that my rad was a lil low and the reservoir was bone *** dry, so I am thinking of course that has to be my problem right there with the heat. I am just going to take it in tomorrow and have it tested to see where the leaks are and get it flushed really good and also put a lil hotter thermostat in it...192 degree is what I usually run in my cars cause it really gets cold around here and I love my heat...lol. Currently, when I put the car on fresh air as the source of the heat, the heat will get cooler then when I have it on recirculate. Plus, when its on recirc, the blower seems to blow air faster.

Yea, then most probably this is the coolant level and cardboard idea is definitely worth trying...
