My brother has a 1992 ford ranger 4wd with a 4.0L in it. Anyways, it had a bad fuel pump and set a couple years and I got it running about a couple weeks ago. He was driving it yesterday and it started steaming. The temp guage didn't work, so I got a aftermarket guage and slapped in it right quick today and changed the thermostat. I then ran it down the road and back and it heated up to 220. I took off the belt and spun the water pump and it sounded smooth and didn't make any noise when I spun it. The radiator had some junk in it though. I drained and flushed it out with a garden hose and then filled it back up with fresh clean antifreeze mix. What do you guys think I should do next? Change the water pump or radiator? I am thinking it is the water pump, but not sure. While I had the coolant sensor out, I had my brother bump it over and it spurted water out the port. So, its pumping some coolant. What do you think?
