Hey guys, I got a temp tag and was driving around the neighborhood and my temperature gage is rising to the 230 mark and then the hydraulic fan kicks in, drops To around 220 and so on. When I was around the block it never raised above 200, of course it was a couple of laps and not more than 20 MPH.
It is worth to mention that I was not able to shift into 4th gear, after about 30-40 MPH the truck starts jumping uncontrollable (left front tire) but that is another issue I have to take care of, I have to remove the run flats for a better or so quality ride.
Going back to the temp issue, my plan is to:
1 - grab a thermometer gun I have in my office and compare real temperature against the gauge
2 - if both are similar. I guess replace the thermostat for a lower temperature one.
3 - ask this forum if that temp is normal on these trucks (actually should have been 1st)
4 - try to enjoy as much as I can.
