Forgot to mention to fit a higher pressure radiator cap as on high
altitudes you will have reach the boiling point at a lower temperature
than usual as the pressure will drop (radiator cap works on over
pressure, not absolute pressure).
At 10.000ft you have a drop in atmospheric pressure from ca. 14,7psi at
sea level to ca. 10psi, so if you use a 7psi radiator cap go to a 12psi
rad cap. and check the condition of your hoses and radiator. They need
to be in good order if you want to avoid a blown hose or radiator.
