Flushed cooling system. Replaced with new radiator hoses, new stant superstat, new radiator cap, new idler pulley, new coolant pump and new gatorback serpentine belt. Replaced coolant with a bottle of green stuff from PEAK and a bottle of distilled H20. Also replaced oil pressure sender with part from dealer. Total cost of all parts was about 250. Install went smoothly considering this was my first time doing any kind of cooling system work.
Test drove and noticed that the engine ran just under 210 on the highway and just hot enough to start the electric fan with the AC off while sitting in the drive-thru. That basically means that the temp is lower than it was on the highway and the same while sitting still.
Didn't get the belt tight enough and had a nice squeal. Fixed that, but I want to check the tension with a tool. Anybody know the NAPA part number?
Gonna take it out solo and try and get it to overheat. If not, then the family is cleared in again for another desert wheeling trip. Just remind me to pack more tools next time!
