That’s what I was leaning towards also but it’s a little nerve wracking watching the temp gauge climb over 250

I did try to reinstall the mechanical fan but I just couldn’t get it to fit. When through 4 sets of bolts… the fan does have a shroud and the 450 came from an IR gun on the block.

I didn’t think so either, I’ll try and get a pic next time. Fan is spinning the right way, and yes when it’s topped off it will dump out fluid for a while. Doesn’t sound like it’s boiling though.

It is an aftermarket gauge cluster, I don’t think it is stock to either year.

Hello all, To preface, I’m not a mechanic. I can however read and have not been able to find a solution (neither has a shop). I have a 78’ FJ40 with a 76 2F motor. I have had it for about 4 years and have maybe put 100 miles on it. Odometer says 3300 after the rebuild that I didn’t do...
