I am having the same issue with a new rad as well. But I havent burped the system so im gonna do that (just run the engine with the rad cap off??) and a new t-stat. Because Ive heard that once you overheat a t-stat it'll be wigged out now and wont function properly.

 

Never mind, I read it wrong...gotta find my glasses.

 

haha ninja edit!

 

I tried to get it fixed before you caught me...

 

So I just burped my system and a bunchaa air blurps came up. So that means there was alott of air in the system, which coulda led to my overheating. Then I relized I am going to put in a new t-stat later today so why burp it now, if I am just gonna have to burp it again later today after I change the t-stat?? So ill just get the 195 thermo and burp it again later!

 

Get a toyota thermostat. Aftermarkets cause temp gauge overshoot on 22re's.

When you are burping the cooling system. Run from cold till the truck is at regular running temp. With the rad cap off and heater on hot.

 

well.. i was gonna do this tomoro, but i work at walmart and am getting paid extra to go to a new store about 100 miles away to help set it up, food room fuel and all expenses paid for, so the yota will have to wait. ill be up ther e for 3 weeks and should get about 400 more bucks on my check, so.. if i jsu thave an air bubble then im gonna buy a new tstat for the heck of it, lockrite and tube doors !! i shud have enough with the extra money i have now.. so ill update after september 3rd when i get back and tell yall what the deal was with the overheating. thanks fellas for all ur help
