- 1992 XLT 4X4
My 92 is pure stock 4.0 V6 motor, transmission, and 4X4. The truck will do fine on highway staying at the "no" part of the word normal on the temp gauge. When I get off the highway, I start going into the "hot" part of gauge and will cool rapidly when moving again.
So far, I have:
Flushed radiator in Feb using Valvoline oil change services (I did oil at same time),
replaced the fan and fan clutch,
burped (today) the system (even though that should have been good from the pro flush at Valvoline)
other possibilities are:
water pump (but it's not leaking and the burp proved its circulating the fluid)
thermostat (but it stays cool on highway)
hoses (they look and feel like they are in good condition)
Please tell me what am I missing?
