    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    At least you know what the problem is and it is getting addressed before the motor burns up.

    I would say its best to leave there over night. Let the Shop take care of it. If they mess up its THEIR problem and THEY have to fix it. At least they're willing to fix their own problems by pressure testing it as well. Good luck to you!

    That's what I did...the shop said on Friday if I needed my vehicle for the weekend they would put it back together and bypass the oil cooler...then bring it back on Monday...but they would really like to keep it so they can test it and make sure everthings alright so I don't have to come back for a 4th time in one week...I said keep it for the weekend I have a loaner vehicle...just please take your time and fix it right this time...

    Great shop!!! trucks still running strong...no leaks so far...be driving it for almost a week now since it got out of the shop and constantly looking underneath for pools of coolant...:D

    Question...is my vehicle equipped with a sensor that buzzes if the coolant level gets to low...???
    reason I ask is my old Mazda RX7 had this...

    Basically, when you turn the key on and the dash lights up, that's everything.
