Hi There,
I own a 94 xlt 4.0 /w air 170,000km. The engine ran semi hot over the weekend, (May 29th), but didn't overheat. The temp gauge went up to the 'L' and stayed there. I proceeded to turn the heat on to get rid of the access heat. After the engine cooled down, I checked the fluid in the rad, it wasn't to bad but after flushing it it seemed a little cloudy. The resevoir had a very small amount of a white liquid in it. Worst case senario, which I hope not, a cracked block but chances are it's the head gaskets.
I replaced the thermostat and completely flushed the system and the temp is runing between 'N&R', which I think is pretty good.
My question is are there any tell tale signs I can look for to pin point the problem, ie. cracked block, blown head gaskets, etc.
Yours Truely,
Myles 'OH NO' C.
