I have a 94 Mazda B3000. I changed everything out in the cooling system last year in December except the temp sensor. I installed an all aluminum radiator and an electric fan.
The electric fan I had on a temp switch but had to run it straight so it would come on and run all the time when the vehicle is running. I also just installed yesterday another radiator because the all aluminum one I bought was leaking after a month. I thought the fan running all the time would keep it running cooler but I guess not. So I reinstalled the clutch fan an hour ago.
The clutch fan used to keep it down to the C mark or the mark above it never passed that. Now it is running midways or 1/3 of the way. I have probably flushed the radiator a dozen times since I have gotten this vehicle last year. There is only 58,000 miles on this truck. I don’t know if the sensor is going bad or the aluminum radiator makes it run hotter but from my understanding it is supposed to run cooler.
Any ideas of what could be going on.
