COWBOY UP
I have a 94 7.3 idi Turbo f350 crew dually. Over heats on grades towing more so then not towing but still gets hot has new fuel pump clutch fan. Any. Ideas Thanks
Usually the reason our idi engines overheat is the radiater is mineralized up because we tend to run tap or well water in the coolant. Distilled water is the only water to run with coolant. The other big reason for running hot is the fan clutch is shot. Occasionally the thermostat is the wrong one installed by someone that knows nothing about these engine requirements. We try to advise everyone to use only the factory Ford or International 192 degree thermostat. Others fit but they can not pass enough coolant volume to keep things cool.
I. Changed the lift pump next step@ for power will be the IP. But for the over heating know I put tap water in mixed with 50/50 aniti freeze what's the best way to clean the radiator
