overheating again
i recently fixed a leak on my inline six 250 4.1
the leak was coming from the thermostat housing neck, so i put everything back together with new v-velts i turned the engine on and left it running for 10 minutes i checked the radiator and hoses if it was overheating because my thermostat guage i dnt think it works its aways on cold, (but has new thermostat) but the radiator and hoses were cold so i though thats good, then i turned the engine off, one minute later the radiator and hoses started to get really hot, the upper thermostat hose that goes to the radiator was leaking water with a lot of preassure really hot water any ideas? |

Re: overheating again
Sounds like your thermostats opened up after you shut the truck off. Check your upper hose maybe the clamps are not sealing or you have a hole in the hose.
