Hi all. Been a while since I've posted but have run into an issue that I cant seem to conquer.
My 93 in my sig, has had everything cooling system replaced over the last 4 years but I still cannot haul our travel trailer in hot weather here. I have a newer motorcraft water pump, second motorcraft stat, new hoses, yes the spring is in the lower hose. I'm currently running a spectra radiator from orielys. I've tried a 3 row champion, 4 row champion and this current one and they all cool the same. Once the temp starts climbing, it just keeps climbing. I have a good fan clutch and when I tow, I reach in and manually pop the spring out of its slot so it runs locked constantly and I can hear it screaming down the freeway.
I've owned 4 of these trucks, one being a 6.9 and the 6.9 was the only truck I could tow with without heating issues. Truck doesnt lose any coolant. Dont think I've topped it up in over two years now.
My trailer is a 32 foot bumper pull and it weighs in loaded around 9,000 pounds. Trying to tow with it here when its 110 plus degrees, is absolutely useless. I'm to the point that I cant use this trailer in the summer and its pretty discouraging. Any input or suggestions would be great. Thanks!
