1978 Ford F100--Custom--300 6 cyl. OVERHEATING!!!! Any suggestions??
Aug 08, 2006 by m.cleghorn | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
The truck keeps overheating---We had a newer motor put in------new thermostat----new water pump---eliminated the heater core---flushed the radiator once with water. Still overheats.Should we buy the radiator flush treatment--or get another radiator???
300 is a pretty cool motor i think 165 is stock thermostat. anyway the coolant on a 4,9 don't flow the same way as your v8s so I've seen some dirty systems overheat. i recommend checking on your fan, should be very close the the radiator i believe its
