RE: Todd Pheneger's overheat
Yea,
But TWo brand new Thermostats and the problem is there. Both test fine
in the Boiling water test too. Keep in mind, with NO thermostat the water
flow is much greater than with even a fully open thermostat. In these
temps normally with a Fully open Thermostat my engine temps ont he highway
are Lower to claose to the same as with No thermostat. so somehow I'm not
getting the flow that I need. I'm still hoping radiator is plugged. And
not somethign inside the engine.
That make sense to you or not???
thanks
