Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum. I have a 1988 Ford Ranger 2.9 4x4. When I go on drives longer then an hour it will suddenly bog down. I try to give it gas but it slowly dies. If I pop the hood and let it cool for about 30min then it starts up fine and keeps running. When I overheat the temp gauge still says normal and isn't even close to H. I have replaced the water pump, thermostat, all coolant hoses, Heater Core and have given it a radiator flush. Is this truly a overheating problem, or could this have something to do with the computer/fuel/anything else? Could it be my auto tranny overheating? I don't know what to do. Please help.
