I was reading Dsl_Dog_Catcher's High Idle Manual Override and he said
"As you may or may not know, diesel engines have a large cooling system, which can take on a lot of heat but can dissipate it very quickly while idling. Extended idling of such engines will cause the cooling system to keep the engine cool enough that it may not maintain an adequate operating temperature. "
I bought my 86' 6.9 3 years ago and when it idles for extended periods it overheats. Even in the winter. I just recently bought a 91' 7.3 and when I was jumping someone a few months ago it the water temp rose and was overheating after 10 mintutes of working on this mustang. What could be the problem?
