OverHeating..????
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 28-Oct-02 AT 05:58 AM (EST)]Okay When I drive the Truck around town, the truck runs without overheating (needle stays between the O and R or "Normal" on the guage".
Last weekend, attached a two horse trailer (2105pds) and loaded a fridge 2 tables and a few light boxes.
Started my drive back home, from Fredericksburg towards Dallas, and at 60MPH the Temp raised alarmingly to slightly passed the L of "Normal", dropping speed to 50mph drops the temp to "M" and driving teh rest of the trip between 55-60 to keep the temp around a for a long painfull trip back home. (and no I was not in OD)
Now Could this be an indication that the radiator is due for an overhaul/change..? or is it a symptom of something else
plans: get temp gauge and tranny guage.. lack of time is my enemy.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 28-Oct-02 AT 10:47 AM (EST)] I think your on the right
track. You should have the
cooling system flushed and
get a new radiator cap.
That's were I would start.
Keep us posted
