Howard,
I run a Renegade cooling system and have had overheating issues along the way. Most were due to problems caused by myself. I'll post some pics of my system and be glad to share what I have learned the last year and a half. First pic is of water sender location. I actually run two gauges. The two brass fittings are my temperature monitor points. Since the water from pump is routed into block, to heads and then to intake prior to moving back to radiator, the intake is the preferred location of sender. John Attached image(s) ![]() |

John, as you said this is kind of like private emailing back and forth but agree group could benefit.
PO says 2 radiators in tandem. Haven't had front cover off but can hear one fan in front of radiator (s) that can be manually activated, no thermo switch found. Second fan behind radiator runs when ignition is hot, no switch there. Will do the 2nd tank ASAP. Good idea. Can it be mounted as high as current tank or do we need gravity feed? Thing has not cooked over anyway, so really expect bad gauge/sender. Sensors..goes to show you how much of a mechanic I am. Will keep looking for sender. There are elec tabs on radiator, but not hooked up nor wires present. Temp check. Stuck thermo in expansion tank coolant and open radiator petcock. It's digital and pretty much instant. Can you get me out at the National??? |
