Open for business despite the snow ! This retired special service vehicle needs head gaskets at 180k miles it first came in with a bad water pump. The customer noticed the heat was not working. And was adding coolant however they failed to realize that if the coolant is not circulating thru the pump housing and reaching the upper housing then it will not register leaving you to believe that the vehicle is running at a normal temperature. By this time the engine has had not had enough coolant to keep the engine at the correct temperatures the overheating has already occurred and generally will lead to a head gasket failure at some point so my point is if ever lose heat then you need shut down the vehicle and figure out why that is and address the issue before a $800.00 dollar problem turns into a 2800 dollar problem which is what this customer is going through now !
