Hey sir bought a 2000 f150 v6 automatic for 1500 bucks. The truck over heats going up a two mile hill clim at 65 mph or higher. I changed the radiator, upper and lower hoses, coolant, coolant temperature sensor, and thermostat. Now the truck over heats after going 85 mph. Additionally it wont over heat in regular level roads. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance
Check your cooling fans.
watch Scotty’s video on how to fix an overheating car.
@inthrustwetrust
Its kinda hard to check them since its a clutch fan
@inthrustwetrust
oh and it doesn't over heat in idle not sure if it helps thanks
Check for any air bubbles in the system.
Other options is get a radiator with more cores.
What the ambient air temperature ?
@klob
I love in california so its usually its from 65 degrees to 109 and it does it. Dang lets see if O'Reilly is willing to swap the radiator for a bigger one
Ok so it not that crazy in temperature.
Hot but not crazy. Have you tried to flush out the coolant system the passage way could be blocked?
Check your head gasket has not own ?
I have a 2008 Buick lacrosse super 5.3l engine my car is over heating after about 20 minutes of driving the temperature gauge fluctuate 1 year ago I had a cylinder head job done on my car now every time I add coolant the engine seems to be burning it my coolant level is low every day and there are no coolant leaking any where
