I feel your pain. I bought a 93 $2500 (2,929.25 Canadian). Cleaning it up; tuning it up +$$$; lots of front end work +$$$; 4 new tires +$$$$; and etc. to get it road ready. Noticed no t'stat was installed. Put one in as it supposed to have one. Then I started getting steam out the tail pipe. Only p...

Been real peppy for many days.
Started out peppy around 1:30.
Slowed to a crawl.
