+1 on this inquiry. on my way home today i picked up a thermostat at a local auto parts place for $6.99.
but i forgot to ask about the thermostatic switch. would it be the same part on 12v 6.2’s? i’m sure id have to modify the connectors.
thanks. i know the gauges are not to be trusted, only get reminded every time i mention one of them.
however, since the temp gauge does move up the longer the engine is running, i figure it’s at least moving in the correct direction. maybe not accurate but still a functioning reference source...
based on your info, it would appear that both, the thermostat, and fan switch are faulty?
knd of like they’ve switched places logistically .
this truck has 8000 miles and nothing so far has appeared modified or replaced apart from tires and the new style controller under dash.
i drove it around...
thanks, but shouldn’t i be getting some kind of flow when the top hose is off?
the truck seems to hold a steady temp when running on water in between flushes.
drove it around a bit to make sure.
so i’m guessing that it does circulate fine when zipped up?
or now i’m thinking that the thermostat...
i’m doing a coolant flush. already drained coolant twice and disposed.
now just trying to flush out sediment.
when i disconnect the hose going into the top of radiator, and turn engine on, there is no water flowing (radiator full).
is this normal?
also, i can’t seem to get any water coming...
