Hey fellas,
I'm sure this has been answered on this forum before but I cant find it on here. My truck just recently started over-heating and I've done some trouble shooting. So far I did my thermostat, radiator cap and fan clutch. I flushed the radiator also. That pretty much leaves my pump or even worse my radiator.
My symptoms go as follows:
When I'm driving the truck down the road it does fine, but when I stop in traffic or at anytime it starts to over-heat. I noticed that when I rev it up to 1500 or more rpms it starts to cool back down. Or if I'm driving slow I can keep my rpms by driving in a lower gear it keeps it cool.
My question is, does this sound like the pump or the radiator to anyone?
