p38 4.6 overheated problem

chabrolly · Apr 27, 2017

hello everyone,
nice to get back to you again
since i had my p38, i haven't replace the radiator. but weeks ago it began to overheat.
what do you think about that issue?
regards!

is it losing water if so where from

Radiator.. expansion tank overflow, water pump hoses .. is the carpet wet?

if not losing water, is the oil showing signs of contamination?

is the t-stat recent or stuck closed ?

Have you done the newspaper test on the viscous fan? Fan should be locked on startup, then loosen up and then go solid again as it starts to feel the heat.
