My Ford E350 running a bit hotter
I recently had one of my cylinder heads rebuilt and a new exhaust manifold installed, as well as a new radiator and thermostat - just got back from a trip to Colorado and there were several occasions ...
Forum Discussion
OK - Thanks for the advice! I had changed the radiator hoses a few years back and they looked fine, so I left them (although I did buy new ones and carried them with me...just in case). I am very careful about 50/50 ratio - with only distilled water.
Does anyone think I need to pull the tranny and replace the front seal - and possibly the bushing? Or should I try these other remedies first and then see?
And I did have to pull the distributor to pull the intake manifold...I marked everything very carefully and after some difficulty got the distributor back in to what I thought was the same place...
Question - in the flush procedure described by oldwizard1 earlier in this thread - no mention is made of draining the engine block...I really didn't want to pull these plugs but I'm not sure i can ever be sure of the proper mixture if I'm filling the radiator with water and then not getting ALL fluid to drain out...??
