390 running tooo HOT
I've had this 69 F250(390) for only a month or so (got it from son). The temp gauge never worked so I replaced the sending unit, and the first day it pegged to boil! Weird huh? The engine has only about 30K and I replaced the Thermostat (190 degree) today. The truck ran cooler but still almost out of operating range. I nursed it home and when I stopped it was hot, but not at boil yet (unless you were to remove the cap). The radiator front was warm all over so it’s not blocked. Any ideas? I don’t if she’s been running this hot all along or what! Any ideas of what I can check now? Do these engines run hot or ...
