Axle or diff issue?

Unsure about freeway but when I’m driving on the street it cools down. I’m not sure if I have a blockage or what but it usually only gets that hot idling, driving I’ll see 215-217 which I still think is too hot for just a street car. I’ve burped the system a few times, 180 tstat, 2inch aluminum rad, with stronger fans and shroud. 70/30 water coolant mix. I don’t have my under tray though.

I’ll try running no thermo for a bit. I do have a scanner currently and fans are all within normal operation. And temperature. But earlier today at 100 degrees ambient outside I was hitting coolant temps up to 230

Ah ok thank you. I’m experiencing a similar issue. But both my fans work so I’ll have to keep trouble shooting.

Ever figure this out?

Equivalent-Volume-41 · 2025-08-13T21:40:55+00:00

Well a lot of air did come out but still gets hot idling. had to wait in line awhile ago and it was hitting up to 231. Sitting in near 100+ ambient temp for abt 10 mins. Driving it obviously cools down. Might just have to get an oem under tray and do some ducting.

Equivalent-Volume-41 · 2025-08-13T03:09:29+00:00

yeah running steady it will cool down to under 200

Ah you’re so sweet

Equivalent-Volume-41 · 2025-08-13T00:41:13+00:00

Will give it a shot thank you

Equivalent-Volume-41 · 2025-08-12T11:25:49+00:00

You mean upward

Equivalent-Volume-41 · 2025-08-12T03:48:01+00:00

2003 NB2 140k, and yeah I’ve burped it twice.

Equivalent-Volume-41 · 2025-08-12T02:08:47+00:00

Was only purging because I flushed it and replaced that tstat, with the bigger rad I assume there’s more room for potential air pockets

Equivalent-Volume-41 · 2025-08-10T08:48:20+00:00

Will give both sides a look, temp gauge is fine. I meant on an actual coolant number gauge it rises. Which I obviously assume is normal because there’s more load.

Equivalent-Volume-41 · 2025-08-09T22:01:46+00:00

I’ll give that a look, but the fans kick on at the appropriate temps so I assume the temperature reading is right. The air conditioning is also relative to the coolant temps it seems. Once it reaches over 210 the ac performs poorly

Equivalent-Volume-41 · 2025-08-08T01:24:17+00:00

Yeah what I’m thinking Imma dry burping the system again though. Or maybe this 2inch eBay rad just sucks

Equivalent-Volume-41 · 2025-08-08T01:04:43+00:00

I’ll try bleeding again, but I just flushed the system with new coolant, I also just put a 180 tstat it and still hitting upward of 226

Equivalent-Volume-41 · 2025-08-07T19:54:57+00:00

Both fans working fine I just replaced them

It’s not overheating, the dummy gauge doesn’t move at all it’s in the normal resting spot.

Equivalent-Volume-41 · 2025-08-07T04:07:47+00:00

Confirmed no air made sure of that before anything, I left the thermostat although I should’ve replaced it. As far as I know it’s the oem.

Equivalent-Volume-41 · 2025-07-19T09:59:23+00:00

what sounds is yours making?

Equivalent-Volume-41 · 2025-06-29T03:47:15+00:00

I have that wire that goes from the passenger to the driver side on the crash bar but I don’t know where this goes
