Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
I haven't done any "scientific" testing, but anecdotally sometimes the temp would creep up to the 0 instead of staying on the 8, and it hasn't done it since I cleaned between my rads and condensers.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Wasn't bad at all, pretty quick. Especially without painting the inserts. I felt it would be a good thing to do before heading into the hot Deep South summer. I did have a casualty though, i busted the front right side marker bulb.. knew one on order already, which i have a restricted and cant drive at night anyways .

POST 5Original post

It is amazing the amount of junk that comes out of there... I haven't done any "scientific" testing, but anecdotally sometimes the temp would creep up to the 0 instead of staying on the 8, and it hasn't done it since I cleaned between my rads and condensers. I also gave the bumper cover a good cleaning.
