#1 of 5 2001 Montana HELP! by shawnnyd Apr 18, 2009 (12:46 pm)
Flashing oil light at stop lights? temp is running hot all of a sudden. Low oil pressure? Started all of a sudden today other than that it runs great. Anyone have any ideas before I take it in. When its cold the light does not come on. Replies to this message: ray80 (Apr 21, 2009 7:36 am) shawnnyd (Apr 21, 2009 3:29 pm)

I would seriously consider taking it in... if its running hot could be you have a circulation problem - could be very expensive if you keep driving it. Might be at least worth a quote at the dealership. Sorry to hear.

Replying to: shawnnyd (Apr 18, 2009 12:46 pm) Oul light flickering at stop lights/signs is quite often the sending unit (not to expensive to fix). The overheating could be a number of things, low coolant, T-stat, or pehaps low coolant due to lower intake manifold gaskets. Replies to this message: shawnnyd (Apr 21, 2009 3:29 pm)

Replying to: ray80 (Apr 21, 2009 7:36 am) Thanks, is there a way to check the sending unit? coolant level is good, thermostat appears to be working ( as soon as the can is driving it cools right down.) Thinking it may be the fans, they work when i hook them up directly but not when temp was up.

This is one area I just don't know about - is there an oil pump in vehicles? If it has been gradually getting hotter and hotter over a year or two could it be plugged manifolds? Curious how you got the fans to run... when I travel through the mountains I'd like to turn the fans on manually... Thanks.
