truck heats up good
i have those grill inserts for summer and winter and now i don't run any of them cause my truck heats up like a ***** towing the car hauler. i don't feel like dumping a lot of money into fixing this. is there a cheap fix?
its the hills that kill me or if i put my foot into it. even without a load.. if i have my o/d off and trying to get up a crazy hill for a long time starts to heat up as well.. like i never have had it overheat but i've had it get **** close on my needle/.

pop your fan off, and pull your radiator, or just clean it from behind. the late 24v trucks oil bottle has a habit of coating the back of the radiator with a film of oil. and make sure your fan clutch works.

You need a puke bottle relocation kit....
This will cure a bunch of problems with crankcase vent / breather bottle on the front of the engine. You will no longer have the oil mess on the front of the gear case and it will keep the oil off the radiator...
