Re: High Coolant Temperature
No the temperature doesn't go down at higher RPM. I have my cruise control going which does a better job of maintaining speed than I can mashing the pedal. Going up grades the RPMs usually are at 2200 to 2300. Cruising at 70, same 2200 RPM. Fins on radiator look clear, I'll check the fins tomorrow, while in there I'll look at the belts. Previous owner replaced the alternator and "kick down cable", they said fluids and filters changed in October, trans fluid looks new, nice red color, no smell, oil dip stick says full, oil looks relatively new, when I looked at it before May trip it looked like it has just been changed. One of the fuel filters though had NOT been changed in October as previous owner had stated. Shop that changed both fuel filters said the problem one had been on for years.
