is this ok?
I had a post here the other night about my car puking antifreeze out. Well I went to the dealership a bought it from & they agreed that it was running warm. So they did a 2 stage flush( whatever a 2 stage is) they went ahead & changed the stat. So they called me & said the car now runs about 180 on the hiway & the hottest they got it was in stop & go traffic & it reached 218 degree's. It was about 90 degree's here yesterday. So is that temp ok 180-218?
Then the service engine soon light came on also when it was running hot. So they ran my codes & it came back to slipping transmission. They said since your Tranny lines run into your radiator & the radiator was hot that it was thinning your tranny fluid & building pressure in the lines & they said it must have slipped when the car was warm. I know for a fact & they do know that the tranny is not slipping. So is that possible about the slipping cause the fluid was hot & prolly thinning?
Thanks for all your all's help

If I were you I wouldn't worry about it unless it keeps comming on. I do have to say though that allmost every time I took my car to the dealer to get some work done, I got the car back something else was screwed up. I will never take her to a stealer again.
