I've done a ton of searching but nothing seems to apply to my situation.
I replaced the motor and have since put 600 miles on the new one.
It's been running at 240* on the freeway and around 225* on city roads.
With the motor i installed new water pump, hoses, T-stat, and sensors. I got it running and it runs warm.
Yesterday i pulled the radiator, flushed it and checked flow(good). Filled it and found out i cracked my T-stat housing. Drained it again, replaced with new T-stat, and housing from the dealer.
Today I pulled the overflow and flushed that along with blowing the line clean.
I called the dealer again asking about a new gauge sensor and if the one i got from NAPA was inaccurate. They need to order it and there's now garantee that's the issue.
I have been on the verge of ordering a new radiator but i really want to know that's the problem before spending the money.
Help me out i know there are a few of you with expertise in the cooling area. Thanks.
