Subject:      Diesel too hot???
Content-Type: text/plain


Hello,


I can't understand why my Diesel is running so hot.  I bought the bus and it ran at 1/4 heat but then I had to drive the bus home in 3rd gear at 35mph for about 700 miles to home because it lost fourth gear.  I have put in a new thermostat and beld the system, also put in another tranny and changed oil.  The bus now runs at 1/4 or less when at a stand still but once moving the gage moves to 3/4 heat...not overheating but too hot for a diesel.  Anyone know what could be wrong??
