running hot
man this last weekend is causing more problems.....after dunking it into a mud hole it hasn't been rite.ive dried all electrical,replaced and dried air duct,the water pump started leaking and it was over heating. i hoped replacing the water pump would take care of the over heating but it hasn't. i don't think the thermostat is bad as the upper hose is hot after running.
so iam thinking the radiator is possible covered with dirt where i can not see it.
whats the best approach to cleaning this ?
**EDIT**
it is/was dirty.
i took the shrowd off and iam spraying the radiator off with a garden hose.

Twisted, i dont know of any way of checking the clutch(thermal fan.) change it , they are cheap. On my 85 f-150 i finally changed it after over 400000 miles it still turned strong but was getting a higher than normal temp reading . Think i paid 15 bux for mine Good luck
