Subject: [oletrucks] Speaking of Thermostats - A Total Disaster!
I hate writing this email but the worst happened over the weekend. We went
on
our first camping trip, fully rigged. The 383 stroker only had 700 miles on
it
and ran perfect around town for three months before the trip. About 200
miles
out the engine overheated and quickly broke down. After a truck stop
mechanic
lifted the headers you see a broken piston from heat. After renting two U
Hauls and towing everything home I called the engine shop yesterday. They of
course couldn't believe it but after many questions and parts examining over
the phone the engine had "NO THERMOSTAT!"
oletrucks is devoted to Chevy and GM trucks built between 1941 and 1959
