Question type: Maintenance & Repair

We did jack it up In case some air bubbles
were disrupting the circulation in the top
hose and it didn't affect anything

If you fixed a crack in the radiator you are driving on borrowed time. If this is the case go ahead and install a new radiator.

Crack was in the radiator

If it were my car I would install a new radiator especially if the crack was low down where you could lose all your coolant should it open up again. Losing all the coolant could mean ruining the engine.

Sounds like maybe there is air trapped in the cooling system. Do some "Googling" for burping the cooling system or bleeding the air from the cooling system. If the crack in the radiator is a proper repair you should be okay. My question is what caused the crack. Was it caused by accident, over pressure or part failure? If over pressure was the cause, you could have a head gasket or cylinder head issue.

Air only blows out of front vents (not from bottom heater or defroster) on 2002 Buick LeSabre I am only getting air to come out of the front vents of the dash. My blower speed works fine. I can switch it from hot to cold no prob. Had one mechanic look at and he replaced the blower motor which did not fix problem but another story as I was pissed they ripped me off as it did not fix problem.
