From California's central valley.Mighty toasty come June.
I changed out fan,clutch,H2O pump,radiator & cap,thermostat,coolant temp sensor and new radiator hoses.
There are no lights or codes going off but the truck is STILL running hot. Not in the red hot but much higher than it did prior to the parts change.
I drove the truck for 30 minutes put it back in the garage and after two and a half hours it was still hot under the hood on a 70 degree day.
The temp guage seems to "float" around and I purged air from the cooling system.(elevate front end of truck)
No dice.Still hot.
Although not unheard of perhaps I got a bad thermostat so I will try changing that.
But I did put air hole at 12 o'clock per instructions.
Can it be something other than the engine cooling such as catalytic converters going bad because something is causing a lot of heat in the truck.
My brother is a way above average mechanic and this has him scratching his head.
Me? Maybe below average mechanic but I can still learn.
Everyone's idea is appreciated.
Thanx.
