Re: [oletrucks] Open Cooling System in '50 GMC

Actually the thermostat is supposed to stop the flow in the radiator long 
enough to cool it down...if not it will eventually get too hot.

If you're using a thermostat, check and see if you might have it upside
down. I had a shop put one in upside down, and that prevented most of the
coolant from circulating. If you don't have a thermostat, I wouldn't think
the coolant would get hot. In fact, the engine would never warm up. Bob K in
