86 F-350 6.9 IDI aftermarket turbo 4spd man trans. Installed repaired parts for fuel system. Followed instructions in a post by Mel about the IP and injector install . Once done motor started instantly and sounds grate. Back to the part that the truck has been in the family it has just under 29k mi, on the truck. Lots of down time for the last 12 or 15 years. Checked for leaks and all look good at this point. Cooling system has new ford thermostat , new water pump, radiator shop cleaned and tested radiator. All seems well . Lulled into a false sense of security due to what looks good. The temp gauge slowly rising and went past half way and slowly kept going. Gauge shows almost 3/4 the way to hot. Time to shut it down. Hope there is no damage at this point. Have not found the ohms reading for the temp sender. Has anyone else been this spot before ?
On the other hand I found out that the turbo installer at our shop back in the day never turned the pump up .
