Re: [DML] Overheating .. surprise..



Joe,

I get the same high temperature readings that you do, but only when I'm
not running my a/c. Running the a/c causes the radiator fans to cycle with
the compressor, so this causes the engine to run cooler (between the middle
and 2nd tick mark.) But without the a/c, then the system must rely on the
otterstat. Then my temp needle will go barely past the center (horizontal)
mark As with many OEM otterstats, mine is a bit out of range such that it
runs the engine a little too hot. Someday I'll get around to replacing it,
but since I always run the a/c, the otterstat isn't much of a problem.

Even though I have a new otterstat, seal, hoses, water pump, brass radiator,
and stainless coolant tank, all these things are sitting in boxes because I
don't have the time to put them on. Until then, all the original hoses &
such are holding up fine (I hope.)
