Re: Coolant Temp Alert

I see. Well I ask because with the thermostat on my engine, it's actually one piece. My thermostat is a 100 some odd dollar piece, not the 10 dollar one you can get separately from the housing.

Re: Coolant Temp Alert

Again, pardon the ignorance, but if I remove the thermostat, wouldn't that then be an open circuit and all the fluid would pour out?

Re: Coolant Temp Alert

Re: Coolant Temp Alert

I assume you mean the coolant itself? Yes that is definitely full.

Re: Thermostat location

Hey guys, thanks for the help. I managed to find it, turns out I saw it long ago, but didn't realize it was the thermostat housing. :$

Re: Thermostat location

Thanks, but mine is not the same as your truck. They musta changed it up a bit by the time 03 rolled around.

Re: Coolant Temp Alert

A little update. I flushed the system, hoping maybe there was some crap in radiator causing problems (there was crap) and it would fix things. Unfortunately it didn't (though it needed it anyways,...

Re: Coolant Temp Alert

I was able to get a reading on the temp the whole way into work. It got up to about 235 tops and hovered mostly between 220-230. Its colder today than it has been as well, around 50 instead of 60-70....

Re: Coolant Temp Alert

I set up the ultra-gauge so I can keep an eye on the temp tomorrow on the way to work.

Re: Coolant Temp Alert

I'm not sure what you mean by this. My entire normal gauge is still hooked up. The Ultra Gauge just plugs into the OBDII port.

Re: What are all these wires going to the stock radio?

I can't be a total help here, but can provide FYI on the back speakers wires. It seems like even if you don't have the actual speakers back there, you will have the wiring partially run to the...

Re: Doesn't want to go into gear

I would bet on this. Except that your fluid level is low probably BECAUSE of a leaky slave cylinder.
