Needed a coolant reservoir bottle. Come here, do a search, get the brand to buy (acdelco), where to get it (Rock Auto), and plenty of instructions about bleeding the coolant system.
I don't post much, but I'm here, and this site is very helpful!

So this morning no heat from the defroster after engine is at normal temperature. I notice the temp gauge goes to normal, a little above normal, then back to normal, thats when the hot air starts blowing.

Call the shop I use, ask them to come get the car from my work and replace a sticky thermostat. He calls back and tells me the reservoir has cracks and that is most likely the problem. I had seen the cracks, didn't think they were all the way through. He did a pressure test and said they were leaking.
He asks if i want him to order the part, I say no, just bring the car back and I'll take care of it (thinking about you guys). He says no problem, and there is no charge. I tried repeatedly to let me pay him something for his trouble and he wouldn't have it.
