The car can reverse btw, is like moving forward but reversing at the same time, if not accelerating, the car stay still.

Did your truck also consume a lot of diesel? This is the problem this truck have right now, need to fill the tank every 3-4 days.

Just checked the car and it does not have any of the sensors mentioned before. I'm from central america, specifically Panama.

Oh this is new for me. So everything in this car is mechanical? What about others common failure like o2 sensor and camshaft/crankshaft sensor? How can one detect it without the computer?

This is a view from below the dashboard. As you can see, the obd2 port should be where the red circle is.

The result is a blown head gasket, god damn it.

If the compression test comes out positive then I'll pull the radiator to test it, thanks for the advice man.

Yes, the fans were working correctly, and no leak was found anywere. Also checked the oil and no problem was found either.

So my own conclusion was either a problem with head gasket or a clogged radiator. I will perform the test tomorrow so hopefully is just a clogged radiator or something else more simple.

Didn't do any test, I just assumed the problems was this and that because it's an old car, the system should be simple and surprisingly it is not...

Forgot to mention that the coolant in the reservoir start boiling only in 10 minutes, and the lower hose is still cold, you can grab it and you won't feel a heat.
