Re: Overheating
Sometimes it's bad being a mechanic The first big plane I was on I was sitting in the tail section right beside the engine. Thing sounded like it was knocking to me :laugh: Ask the attendent for a parachute and she just gave me a funny look Don't think I was flying first class :laugh:

RE: Overheating
problem solved. I had the radiator taken out and cleaned out all the lines. They where all cloged not sure what caused it. Replaced fan clutch.Replaced termostat. An old race car mechanic I met also sugested I drill two small holes on termostat. I figure it could not hurt. I just came back from the Ozarksin Ark and MI. I even drove highway1 from oklahoma into Arkansas.The temperature gagestayed stationary I even ran the air conditioning while climbing crazy hills.

Re: Overheating
Glad you got the temp problem fixed Domingo. Flushing regulary and adding new antifreeze, proper type, helps keep the flues clean inside. Like everything else time and miles tend to create problems. Guess you could say the radiator vains clog just like our blood vains do.

RE: Overheating
Well, I made it back . I am glad to hear from domingo. I believe I have the same problem. I flushed the radiator before I went and it helped some. We had to do 60mph on I95 to keep temp gage out of the red. (It was 98 degrees when we were traveling. I lost no fluids and other than driving slow had no problems. I guess its time for a new radiator. Oh boy can't wait to pull out the fan shroud, tranny cooler, electric radiator fan etc. Found a new on online for $250.00
