Okay, went out there. Unscrewed the cap. Pressure noise came out, wasn't very tight btw. So, I retightened it. Started it. Top tank filled up at least this time to half way. I'll continue to keep an eye out. Thanks!!

Oh yea, we just added the Weapon X HS system, but that was about a month ago. We just changed fluids. Like I said, I've always noticed that tank full for the most part at cold start. It's just last night at our meet, a few Camaro guys were like, dude your tank is dry as a bone. First time it was brought to my attention.

Might want to consider a new shop. If they changed the fluids and did not even top off the coolant... who knows what other fluids they did not properly fill.

Read above. Nobody ever said they didn't put coolant in. Actually, I never even brought that up. Besides, I unscrewed the cap, tightened it and it's back full. Just had to bring it up to temps.

sorry... I read the above bolded part and interpreted that you had the shop change the fluids that they would of checked your coolant level.

glad to see you got that cap sorted out.

The top tank should always be full with no air space at all, bottom should only have a inch or 2.
