Re: Restoring Rusty
then we took the truck for a test drive to see what the coolant temperature sending unit would read now at it's new location in the driver side cylinder head and it reads about the same 183* F granted it was a bit cooler this morning
however note the almost 10* change ie increase to 192* F when the truck is turned off in the garage at the end of our 30 minute test drive, ever wonder why the electric fans keep running after you shut your car off for a while while you hit the liquor store? well they is a coolin your enjin, my German automobile even had two water pumps a mechanical and an electronic and it ran the electronic one after I shut off the car as well as the fan to keep the coolant circulating even after the car was off, food for thought
so now do you see why the Greg stepped down to a cooler thermostat of 180*, he don't want them Vortec heads a crackin' after he turns Rusty off one Hot August Night
