Also get a radiator cap at 1.3 Bar. This will help. Also more distilled water. 60/40 or 70/30 mix. 70/30 should be for warm weather only.

Thanks @Stevesnj. It has a new water pump, thermostat, radiator, radiator cap, and has 50/50 mix in it. The rusty sludge I drained out of it when I bought the truck was concerning, hoping it's nothing more serious.
I'm not hearing the fan upon start up nor do I hear it cycling. I'm hoping that is the problem. I'll be hitting up @beno tomorrow for a parts order.
I'll take this to the thread I started "new addition to the stable" if things progress.

If your 3FE doesn't sound like a DC10 when you start it, then that's the problem. The fan should be able to hold a small cat against the radiator. Also be certain the fan shroud has a good seal against the radiator.

Let's make this happen! @dci blair is coming to help me out with a new water pump this weekend so the BJ74 will be ready to hit the trails for the first time since April 2015.
If the weather is good I'd like to camp on Friday night.

I'm out. Family vacation. Have fun!
Stosh, I usually replace the radiator when I buy an old Toyota. More often than not they are partially clogged. Seems like cheap insurance...

Andy, thanks for the reply. The radiator was the first thing I had to replace, and boy was that ever a pain to get here in 1 piece! Fan clutch should be here tomorrow. Hoping to get it fitted and see you all on the trails on the 12th.

I spoke too soon. Wife and I are flying down to New Orleans to pick up a 200-series next weekend so will miss the wheeling trip.
Aren't we going on the 12th?

It is the title of the thread, so one would think that.
Kids, stay away from the Jim Beam!!!
But in all seriousness..waxing gibbous can cause tempoary mental unstability!
That's my story, and I'm sticking wifh it...
The 11th will be a waning gibbous... I'd hate to see what that causes.
Does look like rain too. I'm going to follow it next week and If it clears up I'm going to camp Friday night.
Never saw the word "gibbous" before!!!! I don't think I'm scared..............
