Can you guys believe it, i got off work to go start my car to go home when the damn add coolant light came on instantly. I was like hell no. I immediately thought there's no way. I've been running the parking lights to trigger the fan, letting it cool down with hood up, and still this. I opened the radiater cap and saw the level of coolant went down, so i'm thinking there's no pressure or a leak somewhere. So i try to open the ast cap. The damn red pressure reliever stick broke on me. I was then thinking, that's why my car has been running a little sluggish lately. It must of been getting ready to break till now. Damn cheap *** POS radiator cap(CST brand). I couldn't believe it, i only had the damn cap for 8 months and it's broke. I went and had my wife go buy me a new Stant one. Put it on and it ran so much more smoothly. Has this happened to anyone? I was lucky the damn thing didn't break while i was driving and leaked all my coolant out. I'd overheat and have to do another rebuild. I just got a rebuild 10 months ago due to an overheat causing bad o-rings. That was due to my busted ast, which i replaced with a pettit when i did the rebuild. Damn is it just me or stuff like this happens to you too?

 

It's certainly not just you

 

Remove the AST system as most serious owners have done. This is a very-very old topic. Most of the Houston owners have done this without any problems down here in heat hell.

 

OMG- This looks like the seeds of a remove vs. upgrade AST debate again..........and again.............and again.

 

What does that mean? "serious"

I think if anyone bought an FD knowing what they were getting into...they're "serious"

 

m2 ast remover...you wont ever worry again
