Understood. I will start having my mech look into that now, MAMONTE suggested a common problem I was unaware of. I will mos definitley have him look into it for me, its just the frustration of paying for the troubleshooting I was @ wits end man. No one seem to know why this thing is overheating.

I have about 150+k. Thats high mileage on these right?
You're definitely on the home stretch- it could make 200k, many do; but you're definitely coming to the end of its life.
