Constantly thinking
I just climbed the rockies with my 94 250 with a 2300lb cab over camper + or - 500lb to 800lb of ppl and gear, and went over a few passes as high if not higher than 10,000ft elevation and I've been struggling with my wafer temp, I saw 250 at the highest, I never ever let it get this high, it scares the crap outa me , but on the long up hill pulls the wafer temp gets very high. Usually I've been seeing 220 to 240 on the long pulls, I jusf baby it in 2nd or 3rd. how high is way to high and what causes damage( I did a search, just couldn't find a straight answer)? I have not boiled over this frip. I know my fan clutch is good and I'm shure that my rad is not clogged because af idling, 190*f, I put my hand behind the fan and it feels Very hot, so there is heat exchange. My theory is that my t-stat isn't opening far enough to let enough coolant through on the long pulls, which could explain the overheating
For the serpentine belt type it isn't to bad of a job right? Easy enough to do in a parking lot? I've done some digging with fhe search and found that tstats arnt to expensive and that stant makes one now that is comparable to oe?
What do you guys think? Thanks
