BTW my Flux capacitor was replaced with one from a low miles Prius. I heard they get better "Light years per gallon" when traveling.

There's a rubber seal waay down at the base of the steering shaft against the firewall. Need to get under the dash to see it. Every winter that seal gets hard on me and makes a horrible squeal. I'm too lazy to fix it. Try getting some silicone lube on that and see what happens.

Judging from the other thread, is this still a problem? lol

All the time or only when accelerating? The actuator for switching between defrost and other vents is all the way to the driver's side and is the upper one.

Today I went wheeling with our local club. As we were climbing an alpine road In 4low creeping along I started heating up. Very narrow road no place to pull off. Switched on heater and kept going. Temp got up to around 250. Only for a minute. Never did go all the way to red then all of a sudden temp dropped way back down to about 215.
Did the routine about three times.
Is this my thermostat finally opening and do I need a new thermostat or what would cause this strange behavior.
Thanks

Do you hear your electric fan kick on at 215-220? Does it come on at all?
How are your coolant levels?
It's either your thermostat malfunctioning, you're low on coolant, or your efan is coming on too late (bad coolant temperature sensor)
