The engine temp seems to be fine in the evening and at night when the outside temperature is cooler. Hmmmm....I don't know. Would the stretched water pump belt contribute to the problem? Any ideas about the heat coming through the cab vents when they're closed? -Gregg >> Is the radiator fan working properly? If outside temp affects running temp, radiator could be suspect. Warm air coming through vents sign of water valve not closing completely. Air flaps never seal that well. Water pump belt tension will not effect cooling capacity much. Will effect alternator charging as belt slipps. Belt will burn up. Hope this helps, Dennis.
