Now that i think about it, check your rad cap as well. If its bad it may open up when it isnt supposed to. Which could cause overheating.

Let me clarify, my "tip top" I did not mean filled past the mark on the tank. I forgot you can't assume anything or people like Jake will be quick to point out your possible fault

I got my rear hitch almost done. On the passenger side I can not for the life of me get the last bolt, furthest from the bumper. How bad is it not to have it?

x2. I would look at your mechanical fan clutch, water pump, and your radiator.
I'm going under the hood. I know where the rad is, location of water pump I know,but what and where do i find the fan clutch? I'll google it

You know it. Just because if i dont point it out, someone will mess their chit up.

I still say to check the fan clutch, rad, and radiator cap.

Fan clutch is on the metal fan. Looks like a saucer.

No worries, its an easy fix with a good flush all that crap will get cleaned out.
Thanks. I've got plenty of coolant.1 jug is 50/50 and the other is 100% coolant.

I would think that the passenger side would be at least 33% weaker.
