Cooling problem
Just bought a 1988 F250 5.0 with 112k
drove it from Sandusky to Detroit (120 miiles) w/o a glitch.
I let it sit over the holiday weekend, only to discover the plug at the bottom of the rad. was leaking.
The I fixed the plug....drove the truck about 5 miles....still no cooling or heat. I can hear the water circulating through the system...(trickling and gurgiling after shutdown)
cooling hoses showed no sign of high wear, they were warm, attached properly, and seemed to be full at shutdown
no strange noises...i.e. bad water pump
No immediate leaks where noticed....
Can no cooling be due to one of more of these problems...any suggestions?
System has not allow new coolant to fully circulate in such short distance (5 miles)
Thermostat is shot
Water pump?
....any others
Thanks
