- 91 explorer
I have a 91 explorer with about 262k on it. I got it from a friend 4 months ago and have done some work to it since. But there's still one problem, and it has the potential to be BIG.
This truck gets too hot, too easily.
first, let me start by saying, the temp gauge doesn't read right. nominal is on the first n. So when it get to the boiling point (literally) it's reading somewhere around or just before 3/4.
I've read that gauge error can be because of the sending unit....but it still gets too hot regardless. I have also relocated/rebuilt the air intake. It happens in any conditions, seems to happen most when parked (on) after driving for a bit.
my girlfriend is pregnant, so i'm doing what i can to baby safe the truck, this is one of the few things left to take care of.
