Well for those who have followed my posts in the past few months, if your wondering what has happend with slight red face, ill explain!
a few months ago i stated the problems i have been having with my cruiser. OVER heating up long hills and i think what throw me off was the book it come with stating that on hot days the temp can climbe on long hills.
After replacing everything under the sun, large PWR performance radiators, caps, hoses,pump, thermostats cant remeber how many coolant bottles i went through, its cost me $1000's.
with the bull bar i have, it is one of those shiny polished aluminium ones with the aluminium grills welded to protect the lights and grill.
with a 4 inch wide post right in the middle of it
So last i had to go to
brisbane from
stanthorpe yesterday so i thought someone did mention to me last time that it could be the bar or lights, so i got the grinder out and cut the grills off went for a drive and made alot of difference but still got alitle warm.
So then i cut the wires to the spotlights and and removed the lights entirely.
BINGO BINGO!!
Drove down to
brisbane picked up 22 ironbark sleepers (1.5 ton)and decided to cain it up the
cunninghams gap where it always got warm even in winter empty.i turned the aircond on as
well on full to strain the motor even further temp did not move at all for the first time in 4 years the needle never moved at all on a trip. and as a bonus it seemed to have more power, why i dont know but maybe the engine running cooler on the road must have made a difference.
So if anyone is having trouble with 1hz and u have tried the viscus, radiator hoses, and thermostat. dont do what i did or it will cost you $$$.spotlights and bullbars would have to be ur next step.
Thank you for those who have helped in the past
Chris
