I have the solution for the problem, aluminum radiator plus a good head cooling unit and wala
I have been a H1 mechanic for 10 yrs and have much knowledge about cooling issues and the best way to get your POWER

 

Yup!I Cant wait till I get the cash to drop one in mine

 

I have just bought a 96 TD with 89k. It has been well maintained, but I have read about the head and block isuues due to cooling. I have seen products at places like Teakatoys.com that have a coolant balance flow system. Does this tend to help with this, or is it a waste of money.

 

What is the normal operating temp?? Mine was running at 3/4 hot on the guage it is a 2001 with the 6.5 diesel is that normal??

 

My 97 wagon runs at 190 degrees. Doesn't seem to matter if I am running 75 on the highway or putting around town. I do not have a head cooling unit and have not had any engine work done to the truck. It has 58,000 miles on it.
