The Final Resolution Well, finally after weeks of limping along using my LS only on short local trips where it ran great for awhile and then overheated by varying degrees, along with rough running, missing, etc., etc, etc., we decided to begin changing out the most likely/least expensive...

Thanks Joe. I'll keep you posted.

I'll talk to him this afternoon. Would a cooling system pressure test show the cooling system leak(s). He tested the cooling system for carbons (it came up negative), but I don't know if he pressure tested the cooling system.
