dannyboi Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 hey all iv got a 2.5td 90 and every time i use it offroad it seems to get rather hot unless the heater is on full even when im not realy doing anythink challenging the fan runs fine and have replaced the thermostat and coolant but still a bit to hot for my liking. it doesent overheat just sits on the end of the white section on the gauge. should i put another fan on a switch in or is there a underline problem causing it to get to hot ? any advise would be great thanks.

Mark Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Have you checked the radiator? If you use the truck off road, then there is a good chance that it is clogged up with mud stopping the airflow through it. I would be inclined to remove the radiator, and clean through it, and also back flush it to make sure. Without knowing the vintage of the rad, I would be wary of attacking it with a pressure washer, as you may find you lose a lot of your fins as well as the mud! hth Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickydicky Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 i had the same on my td .like mark said put the rad face down on 2 bricks and hose it for about an hour and you will gat about 10 pound of mud from the fins or it could be like mine when the mud was gone there were no fins so i had to get a new one . i have no probs now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
