My 92 ford f150 has been running hot?
For example the temp gauge reads to the letter "L" in the word normal on the gauge. I noticed this first happened when I had some mud looking sludge in my radiator. The truck would run hot while driving on the highway for no more that 15 minutes. Since then I've flushed the radiator, changed the water pump, I've even bypassed the heater core to make sure it wasn't clogged and causing the overheating. I have no visual leaks that I know of and I also have no thermostat as well. Fan seems to be working properly. Could I have a bad radiator or possibly need to put a thermostat back in the vehicle?
Put a new thermostat back in. Your radiator could still be clogged. Flushing it out at home sometimes isn't enough.
You might need a new radiator, one time that happened to me too and I was sure the radiator was fine but I changed it and that was the problem.
The only other thing it would be is a blown head gasket, all it takes is a pinhole leak to over heat the car.
If you're looking at the "L" that's the oil pressure gauge. The temperature gauge is "C" and "H." Without a thermostat the coolant pass through the radiator too quickly and doesn't allow proper heat transfer. Start the engine with the radiator cap off and check if the water is flowing in the radiator. If it's not, you still have a blockage.
What's a good thermostat to use? I've previously used a 195 twice and both times my truck started to overheat. Any other suggestions or just a coincidence that maybe they were faulty?
- I have to get a car running that has been sitting for 17 years? I have to get a 79 Ford Mustang with a in-line 4 running so it can be moved out of a parking garage that it has been parked in. Obviously it will need some fresh gas, any ford enthusiast have any tips to offer?
- Has the power of Leftist Propaganda made everyone forget that Judge Kavanaugh has been a Champion of Women? Does the Left prefer Teddy "Chappaquiddick" Kennedy given they reelected him 7 times in memory of Mary Jo Kopechne? Is it more proof that Hollywood, the Press and the Silicone Valley control the minds of too many? Didn't 75 Women of both Parties come out before Christine Ford to say how they support him?
- I have a 56 plate Ford Fiesta and the stereo has an aux button which has never been used how does it work do I just plug lead in and it will? As I said I have 56 plate fiesta and the aux button on the stereo is there but has never been used. If I plug an aux lead into my car where the USB port charger is will hat Work just by plugging my phone in and pressing the aux button or will it need something done to the stereo for it to work?
- Dr. Ford has quite the history of being a stellar teenager. She has admitted to drinking alcohol regularly as a teen, and she has also? Admitted to not being proud of the number of partners she was with. You Democrats seem to be unaware of this or maybe you simply downplay it. This is all political in nature, and you either know that or you are simply stupid! Why do you have Kavanaugh pegged as guilty? Isn't it innocent until proven guilty?
