Re: Radiator overheating already

I would be more concerned about the extra load the compressor being on will put on the truck. As long as you are moving it should be ok.. Havent seen the truck at work lately you parking somewhere else?

Hahaha, funny story yesterday. I parked over by F12 and noticed as I left it was pissing coolant. I came back to the truck after my morning meeting and noticed oil dry was placed under the truck and there was a notice on my seat. I called security as the note said and the guy said ERT was called out to clean up toxic waste under my truck. I said you mean coolant?

Re: Radiator overheating already

One thing I think you should do and I will do to mine, is wire the fan relay into the A/C compressor clutch circuit so that any time the compressor is working, the fan is working. Also, a manual fan relay override switch is nice to have in the cab and is easy to do. That way you can keep your auto fan option at 190 or so, but if you're at a light and or heavy traffic and see the temp starting to climb, you can switch on the fan ahead of time. I do it all the time in the summer in the hot rod.

Luckily the controller has a built in relay circuit for the AC compressor.

He should use Engine Ice, from SUMMIT. Non-toxic so he could argue the bill (if he ends up with one).

Re: Radiator overheating already

All we would do is throw kitty litter on it then take it to our haz waste room onsite. We are the second largest producer of haz waste in az.
