Well that was what I was thinking too. I'll have to order a new thermostat, and I haven't seen any of the fluid on the clutch but I know it's time for a new one. Well you know when you look at a gauge everyday for 8 months, then one day it's reading different it makes you worried. I'm just going...

Ok guys, I know VERY little about a cooling system. So I have a question, when I bought the truck it NEVER got above 180, it usually stayed around 170 or so. It took forever for it to get up to that temp also. So I was thinking that maybe that the thermostat was stuck open, and when I ran the...

It always seem nothing goes wrong until I'm off working 1,000+ miles from home :mad2: But I'm thinking about just buying a Heath 21" fan and clutch. I has always ran around 180ish and now that it's getting warmer then that, it worries me alittle. I'm going to go down to the carwash today, I...

Update: I drove to work this morning and the truck never ran as hot as it was running before. It got to around 195 stay there for 30-45 seconds and go back down to 170 or so. It only got warm when I was stopped on a hill at a red light then as soon as I took off again it went back down to 180...

yea, been there done that when I was young and dumb :rolleyes5: I'm just hoping this truck will last me for another 6 monts to a year and I'll get my new D-max :thumbsup:

if you open the cap on it, it's like a good cold beer kind of air coming out.

Oh, and I know that if I open up the overflow tank it has a lot of air in it

I am assuming you mean open it without the engine running? All that came out was coolant, kind of like someone taking a leak?

Ok guys, finally got out an drove the truck and temps at idle are back to normal but driving down the hwy they are all over the place. One minute they'll be at 200, the next 180. Its just a back and forth dance. And my overfill tank hasn't gone down any at all. Any guesses What'd going on now...

Well I had to walk 4 miles yesterday for a new belt, then 4 miles back. So I'm going to use that as my excuse!;) I'm curious how that Heath fan clutch is working for you? I think I'm going to order his 21" blade and clutch here soon.

Ok, now I feel dumb.. I think I got it all fixed now, put the belt on THE RIGHT WAY and took her for a spin. everythings back to normal but it runs alittle warmer now just ideling around.

Ok, I'll go check that out. It's snowing right now, so I hope its just something simple.

Ok guys, after yesterdays deal with the belt I got out and decided to run around today and I noticed I was running warmer then usual. It usually runs at 180 on my guage now its around 200. If I let it idle or coast it goes to normal, or even alittle cooler. So I'm wondering if my thermostat is...

It only started whinning after I put the new belt on.. Then it was super loud

I hear you man. It always seems like you breakdown in the absolute worst place possible.

It was the idler. I ordered one when I got the belt and luckily it came in 5 hours later :thumbsup: I'll post up some pictures tomorrow, but it only has about 6 bearings left in it. Got a new alt put on and all is well again :cool:

yes they do! I just wanted to see what other people thought before I started throwing parts at this thing. I have been noticing that my volt meter was reading all over the place, so I guess it's time for a new alt

No they are all good. It looked like you just pulled it straight forward off all the pulleys the first time. The second time it wrapped itself around the crank, took me a good 30 minutes to get it unwrapped.

Ok guys, I went to eat this morning and as I was parking I lost all power steering. I got out and popped the hood and my belt came off. I put it back on and I went in and ate, when I came back out and cranked her up it threw it off again and broke it. So I walked the 4 miles to the nearest parts...

The lift pump on these trucks look like a gassers fuel filter. It just has 2 wires coming off of it. On top of the intake is no better then on the pump itself, I'm no expert but it sure sounds to me like it's the PMD to me.
