psfred,

I guess we need to throw a podectomy success party.

Since my post last night, I turned on the heater for a little while. I did not smell antifreeze. It was hot enough that I didn't want to open the cap to top it off. I will top it off this morning and give it a much longer test run.

everyone,

Of course, we are having the lowest temperature this morning that I can ever remember in August. It must be 70 degrees or lower outside. I can still run it and see if the heater core leaks. That's my biggest concern at this point.

I haven't checked all my little lights yet. If there are any not working I don't mind working through that. As long as I don't have to pull the dash off any time soon, I'll be a happy camper.

Now I can get back to working on my shop. That is until something else breaks. My next car project is putting a fresh timing belt on my wifes 4Runner.

Now I need to put that sweater in the car before I forget.

Thanks to everyone for all the replies, advice, pointers and listening to my rambling.

Have a great day,
