Ok, I'm still trying to figure out the temperature problems in my truck. If the truck sits idle, the temperature stays in the half mark of the gauge. If I drive the truck, after 10-15 minutes the temperature gauge starts creeping towards the "H", but I doesn't reach the hot mark. It goes 3/4 way. I added silicone to the fan clutch, replaced the sending unit, installed a separate gauge, flushed the radiator and replaced the thermostat (195 degrees; the only available), even tested it before install it. After driving, I check under the hood, it feels hot, but not like is overheating. The carburetor fan quit working, I don't think this should have any effect on the engine temperature. One thing I noticed is that after a 30 minute drive, the top hose has a lot of built up pressure. Could it be that the radiator be bad even after is been flushed? Right now I' not using the truck for fear of blowing a gasket.
