Re: Engine gets hot at idle

Another thing to check is ,does your truck have a heat riser (spring or vac operated flap) between the r side exhaust manifold and the exhaust pipe. I had one with the same symptoms as you described ,driving temp would be ok ,idle at traffic light mine would go above 230 if I let it idle long enough it would boil over. The flap was seized in the closed position, Bob
