87 22R Borderline Overheating
I've got an 87 2wd pickup that I can drive when outside temps are 70 or below and not have problems but when temps are higher my engine seems to run hotter and hotter corresponding to the outside air temp. I have a fairly new radiator w/shroud and a new fan clutch and t-stat (180 degree). I've tried running the heater to see if it had any effect but noticed no difference. I've had a dozen 22R's and 22RE's and never had one that acted like this. Any ideas???
