pipes hot not solid done fan mod and not cooling but they do make rad cold but pipes and top of rad still very hot, when it starts to get towards overheating if i put heater to hot and blower to half or full gauge goes back down this makes me think baffle has taken a walk in the rad.

any input
thanks

I take it that it's a diesel (fan mod), could be baffle or water pump not circulating.

Engine temp ok till towing very heavy trailer then goes up fans on all the time (mod with thermostat) even when not towing pressure ok when removing cap
New pump
Rad
Thermostat

Nothing obstructing air flow at the front like massive spot lights or winch?

Guess you could try a full flush and maybe even take the stat out for a bit.

I'm trying not to mention the possibility of HG.

Do you mean aircon fans? Make sure the condenser is not obstructed.

Then make sure the condenser is not obstructed. I take it you mean Keiths mod. If head is cracked it will spew coolant when crack opens. Is this auto or manual?
