The fans weren't coming on until we refilled it. Then it seemed like
only one of them was coming on. We didn't see any leaks though. We are
now thinking that maybe when we changed the thermostat that air got
into line and it is trying to get all that out. So I'm going to watch
for coolant in exhaust pipe and see if it stops "boiling" . If not
then I think it may be a head gasket which would not be good.
