99 RT/10 power steering reservoir cap
Heard of peoples caps loosening up over time and coming off. All I have done for 13 years is make sure the cap is very tight. Mine has never come loose.- daveg

Your going to run the Heater test first as Dan suggested before tearing everything apart, correct?- daveg

Ya so Basically what Dan is saying is water should go through the Heater Core regardless of what T-Stat is doing. If you have no Heat that equates to Water Pump not Pumping. I believe you showed Temp of heater hoses being cold and that indicates pump no Workie.- daveg

Did you shoot what the temp is at the base of the T Stat Housing? That should tell you if the T Stat SHOULD BE open or not!.- daveg

None of the Pics you showed indicated the Motor was running at that temp. Shoot at the base of the thermostat housing.- daveg

Can shoot at the base of the T stat housing. Its quite possible your car isn't even over heating but an IR gun will tell along with the above tests.- daveg

Before you throw more parts at it, see if the cooling system is flowing. After the thermostat opens, both Upper and lower hoses should be Warm / Hot. If both are warm, your cooling system is flowing. As stated above, 4 minutes is way to quick for a car to overheat especially from a stone cold...- daveg

Question about coolant change on my 1997 GTS with 16k miles
Just read a post from a guy that has built tons of T56's (Rodney Massengale over at Rpm Transmissions) and he states that the 96 to 2000 T56's run Paper. Read your fill plug tag and run that. Willing to bet it says Dex III. I wouldn't run anything different.- daveg

Question about coolant change on my 1997 GTS with 16k miles
So I have run Manual Tranny Fluid and Dex III. I prefer the Dex III (easier shifting). Be careful if you have Paper blocker rings (linings) which I believe you do.- daveg
