I read something here awhile back getting the 235 engine to run cooler. Mine tends to run a little hot in the summer, and I'd like to cool it off. What is, and where can I get a shroud that I have he

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 coi

I don't recommend the ribbed radiator hose because they restrict water flow "more than a smooth hose" and can trap air pockets in the ribs and that leads to increased temperatures. I always use the s

I'm pretty sure you don't really "need" a pressure cap or an overflow tank. Someone has already mentioned making sure there is room for expansion when filling the system. The reason I'm sure you don

Agree on ribbed hose, but that's all I can find to match the bend going from my 57 235 to the 1954 radiator inlet. The diameter of the hoses are different (1-3/4 on block, 1-1/2 on radiator. When I w
