It's summer, and once again my temp gauge is going up. I thought it was the "spiking gauges" thing, but that's fixed. I'm beginning to think my rad ain't working too good.
Here's a typical incident: I run an errand, driving twenty minutes at about 40 mph, things are fine. I park, run errand, drive back, it begins to hit the red. I put the heater on full blast, guage goes back to 1/2-2/3 and stays there. I get very sweaty.
So, I'm pretty sure my radiator isn't cooling like it should. It's probably three or four years old (p.o. put it in slightly before I bought the truck). Fan clutch seems to work okay.
Where do I start?
