Oh,
My last cooling tip of the week...if she overheats while driving....get
under the truck and see if the lower radiator hose can collapse, it should be
a "ribbed" type, or it should have a wire coil wrapped through the
inside...if the coil is corroded out, the hose can collapse and slow to
coolant flow, this usually happens at higher than idle RPMs.
