Raiderdave517 Posted July 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Honestly, I don't know what I did or didn't do, but after replacing the new radiator hoses, thermostat and cap, my emergency brake pedal works now. But thanks again for your responses and diagrams. The car seems to be running much cooler now. I think it was the thermostat I had replaced. I replaced that one with a GM model, and the car seems much cooler.I am sitting in the car now in 90 degree heat with a/c blowing and the temperature is at 203. Thanks again!

And the outside temps were 103 when it reached 226. Thanks. Clear something up for me, on 7/24 you said you changed the thermostat last weekend, did you just change it again?, this time using an AC Delco?

Raiderdave517 Posted July 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Yes. I bought a thermostat from Autozone. That is the first one I had and replaced on 7/17. I replaced that with the AC Delco last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stated they were carefully calibrated and validated.

Raiderdave517 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Just an update from my drive home last night. It was 95 in stop and go traffic. I had the a/c on and the car didn't get above 215. Thank you all for your guidance. It made my life so much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
