Antifreeze in the oil is hard on bearings and cylinder walls.

Maybe they've improved but I saw a t-stat test back in the 70s and they were only accurate to +/- 20%. So a 200* stat could actually operate at 240*.

 

I would sugest doing a complete flush of the cooling system, heater core, maybe pull the water pump off and try to flush the block out completely also. just my .02 Good luck hope you get er figured out!

 

I have flushed the system and there is no oil in the water. i appreciate the ideas.
Thanks Monroe

 

you could always trade it in on a new one it shouldn't overheat while they test drive it right?

 

LOL I would like that if they wouldnt require me to pay for it.
Thanks Monroe

 

Thanks for all the help guys. Got up this morning and did a test to see if there are exaust fumes in my coolant and it passed. Then I changes the CTS " Coolant Tempeture Sensor". Not the one going to the gauge but the one that goes to the computor. The sensor has fixed it. I cant make it go over 195 degrees. All that work and one garage and one radiator shop and a $16.95 part fixed it. Apparently it was causing it to run lean. It doesnt read exactly as it used to. But if I can make it overheat, it will be good enough for me.
Thanks to everyone Monroe

 

I'm glad you got it fixed and it was something simple.

 

Thanks for reporting back on what it took to fix it. May help someone in the future.

 

Dang it! I knew that too! that it used two temp sensors! I found that out when I went to replace the one and the auto shop was like which one...

 

My problem was the CTS. The more I drive it after putting on a new CTS the better it got. Apparently the ECM needed time to make adjustments,
It runs exactly as before. The gauge reads around 185 or so and never moves more than a needles width. No matter what I tow.
Thanks Again
