WAR DAMN EAGLE!
Hello Guys, long time no post.
I am having overheating issues towing my horse trailers while pulling long steep grades. When the factory temp gauge gets to H, I have to pull over to keep from boiling. It has not boiled over yet but with hot weather here, it is only a matter of time. Also, my highway temps are up to the MA area while running 60-70 on the flats.
As you can see in my sig, I have a turbo w/intercooler. I have water pump with ~25K on it, new thermostat, new radiator and new fan clutch. I have ~5”x24” cut out in the front bumper and have installed a wind deflector on rad support to pull air between IC and rad.
I assume there is so much heat through the IC that my rad cannot handle the additional heat. Should I go to new alum rad? New MS Tech fan clutch or both?
Anyone here tried lengthened the spring on the fan clutch?
How much can engine timing affect the water temp?
