what do we do
answer
knock off the easy ducks.
50% AF, and full top of rad, forget side tanks for now, dead cold its full. not guessing but checking at the RAD NECK.
Cap good. new.
STAT new, 82c, may be put in backwards? or bleed hole not up.
belt not slipping,
DASH cluster Check engine light off running, and no flash codes, but 12= good.
no leaks. to ground
no leaks below cab heater.
no leaks in AT box.
no leaks anywhere
are you having to add AF coolant daily or every few days, oops time for a rad pressure pressure leak down test.
top hose when hot is HARD, 12psi, (its such and easy test, all mech do it not even thinking about it, its like mom checking child for fever....
we can even tell you that is 82c, near. by how fast hand flies off hose. ouch. its good ouch.... next the squeeze, oops no pressure,!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP.
AF looked mud last flushed and refilled?
is radiator new. or relic.
was water pump changed at head replacement with new cam belt, (as a pair is smart both have near same life span)
if it was only inspected that pump head off (i guess not) then the impeller blades are near gone. seen them vast times like this, due to , zero AF service ever.
then check the fan for 1400 rpm hot and cold, engine, at idle. ok fan ok... so easy with tools.
if all checks out the rad cores are blocked.
in the end game, it gets down to bad pump , bad rad, i use my IR temp. gun check rad tubes, and all tube read same top bottom , omg, rads ok pumps shot.
all that is easy. cept that pump.
