DISLEXICDIME Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 well i cant find my camera so i used my phone the truck had the stock clock in it but city hunter called me the other day when he was at portland auto wrecking and told me this tack was there . it only cost me $7.25:D Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 :blink: ok so here is the deal when i start my truck after it has cooled down the temp will go way up. So i changed the thermo stat and upper hose ( it was collapsing) same thing. so i noticed that when it gets hot the upper hose and the rad is cold but the bottom hose is hot. now if i turn the truck off and let it sit for a couple minutes the thermo stat opens and the rad and upper hose get warm because the thermostat opens. the only thing i can think of is maybe there is a massive air pocket in there. any one had this happen ? any one have any ideas? i am running a l16 with a u67 head and the stat i putt in was a 195 And no i did not putt the the thermo stat in upside down :drool: Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I think that if you have cycled it a few times of knowing that the thermostat has opened(hot upper hose) that you could eliminate the air pocket theory on a L motor. They just dont tend to pocket the air like some other cars do. I have to wonder if you might have a new defective thermostat or for some reason the collapsing upper how makes me think you might have a radiator cap problem. Has the cap been replaced? Cheap to do.. Jason Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I replaced the cap when i did the thermostat. I forgot to put that in the post:) Quote Link to comment
