Does anyone know what application the M925 heater core came from? I assume it has a civilian application

I had a similar issue with mine. After going over all the fuel lines, removing the fuel tank, it turned out to be the small plastic line right at the manual primer. Taped it up, tightened it up and it was perfect.

Water is flowing fast from one side to the other. When it over heats the radiator never gets warm.

That's sweet thank you. I'm pretty sure I have ruled out the major component's as in the T-stat, water pump and radiator. When it over heats, the radiator never gets hot. Since the pump is fine, it must be unable to work because of the air pockets.

Thanks, I think I will do that. I read another guy had a problem with air pump bleeding air into the coolant system. I will start by cleaning the crap out of the cooling system first. Then bleeding every thing real well.

Impeller looks new, what was wrong with yours?

Thus far the thermostat did not change anything. After reading some older posts I was thinking the radiator my be the issue so I went for that next. I drained the coolant and thought I would try starting it to see if any coolant came out of the thermostat hose, nothing. Thinking that was odd I...

Yes, it seems to kick on at the correct temp. Right around 200. That's actually what tipped me off to the problem. I was driving it around my house and it had only been running for 30 minutes when the fan began to run.

With some of the issues I've seen with RR trucks, I'm embarrassed for the RR people. Many of these trucks would have cost American soldiers their lives if in a combat situation.

After the test run last night steam was coming out of the small hose end at the thermostat housing. I found a thread by another Steelsoldier poster tbar123. Had all the same symptoms as me and it turned out to be a plugged radiator. Last night I was laying in bed thinking about it and convinced...

Just checked on it. The pipe coming out of the thermostat housing is hot. The oil cooler is hot. But the radiator is cold?

I first noticed it in the early spring. I took the truck on a 50 mile trip in 50 degree weather. Seemed to run hot considering the weather. About 200-210. The truck was full so I figured maybe it was normal. About a month ago I took some friends for a ride around a country block. At the end of...

Thanks, you might be on to something. Last night I had some extra time and thought I would idle the truck while cleaning one of the cars. It idled for an hour and finally got to 180 degrees. The right side of the radiator was hot but the left side was stone cold. Either the thermostat had not...

It is getting that hot. No noises but the power was starting fade so i shut it down.

Fan motor sounds great, its just not cooling it down.
