20r get'n hot need help !!!!!
O.K. need'n some help.
Have me a beat'r 1980 2wd yota pick-up.
Love this little beater !!
I've drove it about a year now and temp guage always runs a little over half.
About a month ago she started run'n in the RED !!
Pulled thermo stat thinking it was stuck, could not see much circulation in RAD.
Drove 5 miles still got hot.
Checked Rad for Circulation, has real gooooood circulation, pump is good I think !?!?!?!?!
Put thermo stat back in, still has good circulation !!!!
Noticed clutch fan not kicking in, put new on, kicks in good but still gets HOT !!
Next I thought temp guage messing up. Pulled wire from block (Engine was Hot) and guage bottomed to cold. Plugged back in went back to hot (engine was Hot, did I already say that) I think guage is working !!!
My next step I think is to check RAD to see if it is full of dead bugs or whatever blocking air flow. I am going to pull and power wash RAD being carful not to damage.
I have a feeling this is not going to help, I hope it does, but have a feeling it will not.
What should I also be checking ????

I do believe I got her whipped !!
It was the thermostat !!!
Thing was stuck open, letting it flow through to fast I guess.
Put a genuine toyota thermostat in instead of a "parts" store one. 10 times the quality when looking @ them side by side !!!!
