OK so I'm about 8500km north of my Uri (Namibian-built 2H / H55F / 4.11 full floaters etc.), which has been taken by a friend to a mechanic whom i trust to address an electrical gremlin (which turned out to be the alternator) and a mysterious overheating problem.
I reiterate, I am nowhere near this truck right now, so I turn to you, listers / ih8mud'ers, for speculation.
The mechanic told my friend that the radiator had been hooked up wrong, and that it had somehow been bypassed.
I have no idea how to hook up a radiator wrong, so my guess is that there's some kind of bypass circuit which never let coolant through the radiator? Assume standard Cruiser engine, standard Cruiser radiator.
Additional guesses welcome!
