    More overheating problems :(

    you need to have your cooling system pressure tested to make sure it doesn't have a small leak somewhere,heater core,hoses,etc.also you could have a cracked block where the headbolts go in.my engine would run for 3 or 4 days and not lose a drop of coolant,then it would overheat like crazy.no...

    front sqeaks when i turn?

    it's probably your outertierod.they don't have grease fittings in them and they get dry and squeak.you can get a friend to help and get under the car and turn the wheel left to right and see if you can hear the squeaking.the tie rods can be tight with no play and still squeak.
