Re: Overheating

Make sure your upper and lower radiator hoses are good, especially the bottom one. It's sometimes hard to see while the engine isn't running, but when it is running the hose (if bad) will callapse while accelerating. I've experienced this first hand. So check your hoses... all of them. <br> <br> P.S. That name Fareed... I went to school with a Fareed in Louisiana. That couldn't be you huh?

Re: Re: Overheating

Hi Eric,<br> Thanks for the advice I shall look into that when you say 'accelerating' do you mean that under load or can that be duplicated by just reving the Engine?<br> Fareed
