Well I've been putting alot of time under the hood of my van. All new radiator, thermostat, and temp sensor(I think thats what you call it). also on my third alternator in 2 months. arghh
I drove to portland from seattle(3 hours or so) and the needle on the temp guage was dead center the whole way down. Ran great. On the way back it started running hot and when I lowered my speed it got even hotter. This makes me think that the fan clutch went out but I just replaced that thing less than 20 thousand miles ago or so. Are there any good ways to test the fan clutch or the water pump without removing them? The water pump is the only thing in this van I haven't replaced. I'm keeping my fingers crossed cause I don't feel like undoing and redoing everything else to get at it. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. (All my friends have already told me to ditch the van for a truck.ha ha)
