Pontiac G6 overheating issues

Ok this one has been a project. I bought it off a used lot As-Is about 6yrs ago. Upon the 40min freeway drive home it blew up. Overheated, warped a head, all the fun stuff. Dealership did nothing, if i wanted to tow it to them they would diagnose. No help in getting anything back, just a mess. So it sat dead until i got the time and made it a project with my son.

In the last month we've replaced the motor. Runs well but still was overheating

Initial step was replace the thermostat. Still issue. Found the return line to the reservoir tank was clogged, the whole tank was a mess. New tank and supply line along with radiator flush. Burped the upper radiator hose and left cap off the purge tank.

Runs good about 200 degrees on a 10 minute idle. Found a small oil leak under pressure, oil filter was mangled somehow (i think wrestling the motor into place. This part was done while i was not observing) and was low on oil. So new filter and topped off.

Running it last night on the idle i seen the temp still climbing, fan kicked on. i did grab the upper hose and it was not hot or even remotely warm to the touch. Which leads me to questioning the newer amazon thermostat put in before the flush/new tank and all the rest. Should i replace it with another?

The radiator fan does kick in about 220. Only thing i haven't really done is leaving the cap loose door air to escape the purge tank, yet there's an overflow hose that i would think let's it breathe.

I question the water pump, but this is the newer used one that came with the rebuilt motor which is also on the other side of the motor from the cooler upper radiator hose.

I felt initially the clogged return line to the reservoir led to the initial overheating when i got the vehicle, but now I'm really lost. Newer motor. New (?) Thermostat, new reservoir and supply line, new oil filter.. what's left?

Any hope for an old Gear S2? Sideloading or app options?

Ok ok, i have an old watch..i get it. I had picked this up second hand about 4+ yrs ago, and my job at the time was not practical for wearing a larger faced watch. Not to mention the battery life was terrible.

Anyway last week i replaced the battery and it's doing all the basic needed functions, but i couldn't help but wonder what other things were capable

I did see there are not many options, or any for that matter on the Gear app

A light search showed me the Tenzin (?) Shop was closed, but i haven't looked into it yet as i only learned that on Google 90 seconds ago.

So that brings up the question to the masses that know it all, what if anything am i able to do? Aside him the obvious 'buy a new watch' comment

Dont suppose anyone trying to go to college coaches showcase camps this week but couldn't get in are you?

Kind of a nondescript subject title, i apologize. Anyway i seen there are camps this week in Texas, Indiana, Missouri, Delaware, Tennessee and Connecticut. There are some the following week as well, in California and South Carolina. Was curious if anyone was going to get into one of these camps but haven't yet. Reason being i have a fully transferable admission to a CCSC camp. My daughter was signed up for one last fall and couldn't go due to injury, i had reached out for a refund from the camp and never heard back. well by the time the next set of camps came around she had committed to a college team and i again reached out and was upon contacting the CCSC people finally i was informed of this fully transferable credit. So now that the camps are taking place in other states i thought i would reach the masses the only way i knew how. You can look up their camp info at collegesoftballprospects.com

Yes this is serious, no i am not looking to scam anyone. I'm fully comfortable passing whatever info needed to help one young lady hopefully reach her goal as my daughter did (after i paid for this dang camp grrr)

Who are your guilty pleasure champs to drag along in Grim Forest?

​

Hey just rolling thru Grim Forest and started wondering if everyone has some Non-Meta champs they roll with in GF? You know the champs you kinda like but when it comes down to it you aren't really gonna use them in LA, and maybe some play when available in Cursed City.. but they generally don't see the most play time... those champs.

For me my tag along that gets thrown in a lot is Ba Santha.. just always enjoyed the static charged demon dog thing. Also a sucker for stun champs.

Aside from him i usually mix in whatever champs were buffed recently and try to learn to play them. Yoshi, skeletor and septimus running in this crew. Gotta figure out the panda still too...

Anyway wanna hear who gets some favorable play time on your end, and even what you like about them or how you've got them decked out

Questions and thoughts from someone who never learned to fully operate the 353v

Hey, title pretty much says it all. I got the 353v long time ago and just never really learned how to use it.

I seen it runs Grimvalor really well, what other Playstore games are amazing on this... which brings another question.. how do i find the play store? Do i need a different OS?

I'm sorry for the most basic noob questions, but as many of you know when life gets in the way it has a generally hard time slowing down again.

That being said is there some links, or recommended build/os to install? Where have you found the next resource for your learning journey. I understand i can Google just as well, but i wanted to ask the trusted community first which as stated earlier.. free time is not always available.

To be honest I'm still a little intimated with an android front end. Don't know what to do

Thank you in advance.

So a co-worker had never heard this story. I tried looking in the usual places and (yes) used Google and I've only come across a Tom Kowalski (rip) article making reference to it, however was looking if there was an in depth explanation anywhere that someone knew about?

For sake of explanation for those that didn't hear this, rumor is the Lions pick was coming up on the clock at that years draft. Millen and all his stablemates were arguing and couldnt decide who to draft. Apparently a coach from the back of the room yelled 'pick Brian Calhoun' and they did. If memory serves it was the ST coach too... Anyway curious if anyone knew or seen this elsewhere
