SportingShooter 0 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I've seen a few people mention with various 4x4s that they over heat because the radiators are filled with water when it should be coolant. Worth checking out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wilbur foxhound 480 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 check the radiator and see if any of the fins are missing if they are that would cause it to overheat,if theres warm air comming from the heater it wont be the thermostat dirty brown water is a sign of it overheating,atb wf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
