my car has been overheating the past week, i think its due to the temp. before it wouldnt do it. today it was 110 outside. i stop everytime to let her cool down but today i noticed a burning smell of oil and flesh. i looked all over my car nothing. would the heat cause this? or was it something outside?

 

checked the water level? is the belt tight is the guage working correctly?

 

the belt isnt super tight or super loose, i check all my fluids before i drive her, the gauge is working great

 

does your lower hose have a spring in it? If not, it may be collapsing

 

It's the heat. Mine is getting super hot too. Stopping isn't good, unless your letting it sit for hours. Continue driving around 50-60. IT should cool off. Sitting raises the temps.

 

+1 on the hose is it happening sitting at lights or when moving at good speeds?

 

In my part of Ga I will hit quite a bit of traffic. Next summer I will move up to a 3 or 4 row radiator.

 

yep, I do mostly country road driving, so it's ok. I did go on 138 the other day, and it started getting real hot, and i jumped on 85.

 

Look for a greasy rodent carcass on your exhaust manifold.

 

Hell, I am not too far from 138. We have to move my sister into college saturday and we will be going that way. She is going to Milledgville, GCSU
