99 srx overheated, took out thermostat and it was bad(pin out & cocked off to side), stuck thermo from my '98 SRX, worked for 100miles then when bad, this time pin in thermostat is gone(uhhh oh).
figured i would try a new one just to be sure that it was not a freak thing. 3 miles and thermo went bad(pin out & cocked off to side.
SO, engine is overheating & toasting the thermostats. Now, I have a couple ideas.
1) impeller in water pump slipping,stripped?
2) pumpshaft broke( no noises though)
3) line plugged somewhere ?
4) gear on crank shaft slipping?
What do you think? Anyone that has similar problems, please tell me #1. I am going to check out play of impeller & pump shaft later today. otherwise it's off to dealer for service and larger Labor bill.
