Hey guys,
Got a couple questions regarding my truck.
Ok the story goes...
Coming home from work the other day, truck was just reaching normal op temperature. Guy in front of me slowed right down to a crawl to turn, I was in a rush so as soon as he turned I put the ole girl to the floor.
A few moments later I noticed my "CHECK GAUGES" light flash on.
My temp reading was almost at the red, so I pulled over, had a smoke, checked everything over and noticed my rad level was down (in the overflow)
So 20 mins later after it was cooled I babyed it home (10 mins later to home). In this time my temp was in normal range the whole time. So I went for a 15-20 min cruise and beat the piss outa it trying to get it to overheat again as a troubleshoot.
It has yet to do this again and its been 2 days of driving.
Questions-
What would cause this?
Could of there been too low of fluid to make a gap? so to speak?
Could of there been something in my thermostat?
Help me out! I bought all the necessary stuff to fix it, but if its not doing it now? WTF?
This is driving me nuts!
Thanks,
Josh-
