darn....I think it's official, I've got an overheating issue, now occurring every time I drive...
Just reviewed this thread and pulled out all the various things mentioned as possible culprits:
- Broken head bolt
- Head gasket
- Thermostat
- Stuck thermostat
- Radiator cap
- Sensor that turns fan on/off
- fan clutch
- Heater core
- Water pump
- Radiator obstruction
- Anti-freeze mixture
Printed out "newthings" recent thread on the custom Ron Davis aluminum radiator too......http://www.vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?t=20866
Called up my mechanic to make appt...first thing he says is why don't I put in an aluminum radiator....hmmm...now there's an idea......
OK, gonna look into details of the Ron Davis radiator...gulp...and see what kind of moula I'd be talkin' here...gulp....also asked newthings for detail$.
After I faint, and dave revives me, I know I'll have to have my mechanic explore some of the "other" possible culprits.
Since my heat-adding mods are basically "permanent", this aluminum radiator really does make good sense......that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
