Since this truck is new for me I have been taking it out in prep. for tours.
Today was the warmest day so far 83 degrees and humid. Took it out for a 20 mile spin on hilly rds. (that's all there is here in KY) My Moto-Meter on raised up about an inch or so. My APCO temp gauge which is installed in the upper hose ran into the red going up hills and hovered around the 195 which is into the red on the gauge. I measured the radiator shell temps after the run. Top of radiator was approx. 165 degrees. Bottom was 155 degrees. I shot the oil pan and it was 160. Do I have an overheat problem? I am not steaming or blowing out coolant. I am running 50/50 antifreeze. Radiator is a three row reproduction which is only a year or so old. Coolant is nice green color. Does Water Wetter help? Or running H20 with Water Wetter? She is hilly and hot in summer in KY! Thoughts and opinions appreciated! |
