The thermostat could be the culprit. Also if you system has ever been treated with the dreaded "Stop Leak" then your radiator could be gunked up. When you flush your system I think it will become apparent if anyone has added any of this nasty stuff to your system or not. Also check the operation of your cooling fan. When does it come on and when does it go off? The temp sender for the fan could be faulty. Hope I gave you some ideas. Ken Wilford John 3:16 |
