my thermostat refused to open when i put the new engine in. i was racking my brain trying to figure it out. For me, the car just kind of needed some time. I was racking my brain for a while and when i went back to the car to try again, the thermostat had already opened or decided to open when i ran it again. I bet if you try again today you'll be alright.

my method is pour in slowly, burp the system by compressing and releasing the coolant hoses (i hear you can also take the line off the TB bypass to get more air out), when full, i idle it for 20 minutes so the thermo can cycle and after that, i drive it.

I hear the fbodys like either the front or back to be jacked up when filling with coolant. i didnt do that though. best of luck to you.

YES! Finally bitch *** Owen (ard) is done. What a thieving pile of ****. Horrible customer service, even worse tuning than a 3 year old banging the laptop blindingly.

Thermostats are useless in Houston

The HP owner fired their tuner. He now works at D3. I saw one car leave there because he didn't know how to change the rev limiter that was lowered at LMR awaiting fuel upgrades.

I told them that even if he does good work now, it does not make up for a life time of ******* folks over.
Recently saw a nice hole in the side of an LS3 block from one of his recent jobs. Same ole stuff.

I saw that too but I think it's just carry over advertising from previous years. But who knows... he may show up and oil down the track for us.

I gotta buddy that works at a Chevrolet dealership, they caught old chucky-poo in a bay returning the ECU of a car in for warranty work to stock. Engine was ticking like a bomb and he would have gotten away with it if it weren't for the fact he was revving the **** out of the vehicle right there in the bay, ******* moron. Apparently it was another one his tuning misadventures and chuckles was trying to get the car warrantied via one of his buddies at the dealer. Service/Shop manager wasn't having any of it

I heard that josh dude from HP was at D3. You would think they would know by now but he does speak faster than a used car salesman. Loves throwing in the fact he went to the tuning School. Whatever. Just glad I had mine towed out of there after he beat on it for almost two days.

Yeah, that's who I was talking about above. D3 has tuners so they should be just fine.

Josh is working in a sales capacity rather than tuning.

Yup, he's toast.

He certainly murdered a ton of motors but never thought he was capable of this.
