well, here it goes...i was coming home from Big Bear yesterday, hit san bernadino/riverside/temecula in the heat and it began to get REAL hot. Not a new issues btw. things that are new:
water pump
thermostat
fan clutch
fan shroud
all hoses
radiator
fluids
electric fan was turned on with my bypass switch. i have an additional sensor/switch to control the fan as well. that was on and set to 210. I have done a CO test with the motor running and radiator cap off. no water coming out of the exhaust, no water in oil or oil in water. motor runs fine, plenty of power. vacuum bypass switch for the heater is operating fine. i checked the radiator with an IR gun and my dash sensor is pretty close, only a few deg off
the rig is currently on stock gears (until i'm done with axle swap btw lol) with 35s on a 6" LA kit. no inner fender liners. a little weighed down, but not that bad. it shouldnt be doing what its doing anyways. it does it when its relatively cool out with no rack or crap in the back. i've been considering putting vents in the hood as i think there might be positive air pressure causing the radiator to not get any air flow across it. when i pop the hood its like a darn oven in there.
thoughts? i've searched and searched all over the internets and can't find anything but it seems to be a common issue with these things.
