Cooling/Overheating questions
Hello everyone, I have some cooling questions. My truck the one in my sig. has started to get warmer than it has in the past. The temp guage rides about the middle with my small trailer in tow. I'm half afraid to pull my 5th wheel! My question is what is the answer?
I have a new radiator, new hoses, new Cummins thermostat, and it still gets a warm as ever before. Again, what is the answer to this problem? TIA: Tony |
just a thought is your radiator clean? i took mine out and cleaned it and it made a difference in running temp.
either way, good luck edit: how about your air filter? is that clean |
The radiator should be clean as it is new. The air filter is a bad K&N that might need cleaning. Thanks, Tony

put a known good guage on it and see what it reads..old dodge guages arnt known or thier accuracy.

The middle is where it's supposed to run.

It sounds to me like the old thermostat was letting it run a little cold. As long as it's not past the 5:00 position it's OK. :)

Your fan clutch may be going out. Just something else you can check.
