I bought this truck in late Sept. of '09, I drained the radiator due to the fact that the coolant was mixed.
During the winter here in Ga the truck ran fine. I noticed sitting in a parking lot of a 90 plus degree day that the gauge had moved up to 3/4 of the way up, the a/c blower started making a different noise. As i started driving the temp when down. So ok lets flush the radiator by reversing the flow of water through the system and maybe it clogged. The system appeared clean. I have replace the thermostat, water pump, fan clutch and the tensioner due to the noise that it was making. I have burped it twice and I'm still getting a few bubbles if I riv the motor with the cap off. No smoke, oil is clean and I'm at a lose. You know, the strang thing is now, that if a turn the a/c down from #4 to #1 or 2 and drive in the city the truck cools down.
