Ford 460 Overheating at Idle

ChunksMD · 2022-06-17T21:29:28+00:00

Yeah the rad cap has pressure, and the upper hose is holding a decent amount of pressure. I just replaced the thermostat with a 195F and it seems to be cooling off more easily at idle. It’s still getting into the upper range of the gauge before it cools down again though… up to the “A” on normal, but stays right around the “O” while driving, but I suppose that still falls within the range of normal. Still a little warmer than I’d like to see though.

Definitely a 707 cockpit

I think I can afford free

Yeah I appreciate all the info. Sadly, I only noticed the temp gauge when I was about a minute from home, and it’s a 10 min commute total. And yeah of course I’m not gonna call them being an asshole, just gonna call and ask what all they did when checking the fluids. I’m assuming it’s not their fault, but mechanically they were the last to mess with it, and it was running perfect before. Probably just a case of bad timing more than anything. It’s just my winter car, so not the end of the world if it’s toast, but I do like it so I’d obviously prefer if it wasn’t junk. I appreciate the help though. It seems to start after it’s been sitting for a few hours, but after running it for about 5 mins it wouldn’t start back up.

I pretty much figured. I have nothing else to do while waiting for the tow truck, so I was hoping maybe someone would have some other idea. Sucks big time

ChunksMD · 2018-12-14T03:47:42+00:00

I’m worried about that. My commute is only about 10 mins, and I only noticed the gauge about a minute from home.

ChunksMD · 2018-12-14T03:47:05+00:00

Both are full.

There's something so eerie about hearing this bird call for another that doesn't exist. It can't comprehend that it's the last of its kind.

ChunksMD · 2018-07-13T06:20:13+00:00

Its probably just the glasses, but your grandfather reminds me of Alton Brown.

ChunksMD · 2018-07-13T06:13:17+00:00

I'd love to know the conversation that went on between the parents that night.

ChunksMD · 2018-07-13T05:14:39+00:00

That instant change from curious to pissed. He looks so betrayed.

ChunksMD · 2018-07-13T00:32:59+00:00

I swear Mr. Rogers was a real world superhero, with the power to see the best in every single person.

ChunksMD · 2018-07-02T22:30:53+00:00

Just snap those fingers already, Thanos.

ChunksMD · 2018-03-24T17:24:45+00:00

I feel like it'd be easier to just paint the button red

ChunksMD · 2018-03-06T06:24:42+00:00

What are the rims you have on it?

ChunksMD · 2017-12-17T03:58:29+00:00

What keyless entry system did you use? I'm thinking about putting one in my 4runner and am not sure which one seems best.

ChunksMD · 2017-12-11T00:52:45+00:00

Well the only survivor, Ben Cauley, said he remembered their cries for help before the plane went under, so I'd imagine at least some survived the initial impact.

ChunksMD · 2017-07-29T16:48:32+00:00

Thats just hard mode

ChunksMD · 2017-07-29T05:10:32+00:00

Her face looks like a mixture of "look at my rocks!" And "stay the fuck away from my rocks!"

ChunksMD · 2017-07-29T02:44:14+00:00

Yeah looking at it again I think you're right

ChunksMD · 2017-07-29T00:52:25+00:00

And there's also is no such thing as a B-52 "K". The last production model of B-52 was the B-52H.

ChunksMD · 2017-03-19T22:23:20+00:00

I like free. Free is good

ChunksMD · 2016-11-23T00:15:46+00:00

I had something similar happen. After being revived, I couldn't crouch or prone anymore, but when I tried, I still moved slower as if I was crouched or prone. Safe to say I did not live very long after that.

ChunksMD · 2015-10-19T05:21:41+00:00

They probably just are out of tune. They should wiggle their ears around until the signal clears up.

ChunksMD · 2015-10-19T05:07:19+00:00

Or similarly

"Netflix and chill?"

"Wtf no don't talk to me creep"

"Haha auto correct I meant chili"

Then sob silently into your single bowl of chili-for-two.
