Replying to: dubbledukes (Jun 13, 2006 3:35 pm) This is an old post, so I assume you have solved your problem, or burned the thing to the ground by now.   I'll answer anyway, in case it helps someone else who is making this same mistake.. You have long since past the time to take the truck to a professional who knows what he is doing. Your hit and miss approach, and throwing money and parts at it in the wild hope you may guess correctly, it costing you way too much money, and you are replacing many un-needed parts. It's nice to try to learn to do your own maintenance, but you are in way over your head, and all you are accomplishing is wasting your money and frustrating yourself.  You are not saving money when you buy many unnecessary parts, and spend so much time on the problem. Take it to a knowledgeable technician and he will have the problem solved in a hurry. One hour should be all a good mechanic would require to locate the trouble. Must longer than that, and you need to change mechanics. That means, at today's going rate, It will only cost you about a $100.00 bucks to find the problem. How much time and money have you wasted already, guessing and hoping?   Like Kenny Rogers said, "You got to know when to hod 'em, and know when to fold 'em..!"

Replying to: typoking (Dec 27, 2006 2:45 pm) Check your thermostat. Did it work and suddenly stop? What is the engine temp? Your thermostat could be stuck open, or missing, either of which wouldn't allow the engine not to reach proper operating temp. Stick a thermometer in the top of radiator, or your finger, see if it's too hot to touch. If no thermostate, it won't get too hot.  The sludge in radiator wouldn't cause the proble, neither would the cap. Pull hose off the heater radiator to check circulation. If the water is circulating and not hot, then the water isn't hot. Worst and last possibility,.... blown head gasket.. , but lets eleminate the little things first...
