I really hope the previous owners did not top odff with that orange shit. When we put new oil in her, there was a slight knock that lasted about a minute then went away as the truck warmed up. Oil cooler is installed in the truck finally (was a major pain in the trying to get everything put back together) and we can now continue with the coolant flush.

Oh and while I was playing with the temp gunb yesterday (when Bluetooth was telling 240F) I thought I would check out the exhaust port, the one that is above coming from the engine, it was pretty the hottest thing I could find on the truck prob 220, by that time thing have cooled. MY temp gun reads 140 F on the upper coolant hose My coolant temp gauge on my andriod has a range of 120-176 F Riscorpian that is a good point, I have seen other forums touch on that topic. How many miles btw? Coolant look good or does it look rusty/muddy? If you think you have a head gasket issue then you need to rent a pressure tester from the local auto parts store and pump it up to around 15 psi to see if you have a leak in the cooling system. You may have more horsepower than the old 2.5/2.3 but the old engine is cast iron and can handle overheating better. You get that engine too hot and your gonna warp a head.

Plus you have the DOHC which is a full aluminum engine (heads and block). The brands hallmark combination of ultimate. It should only read a few degrees hotter than that. The scent may P2562 Mercedes Benz V Class signal oil or coolant leaking from.

THinking about swapping out for the explorer radiator, any one have an opinion on that?Ģ42 seems high to me. Living in sunny Florida, my coolant temp on my bluetooth OBD II reports temps up to 242 F when I drive reving up to 2800 before changing gears.Īfter getting home and and letting it idle I get 180 F I was told by the kid i got it from that they did the valve cover gasket shortly before i bought it from them (whether or not i believe them that they did it right or at all is another story) But i need some help trying to figure out what it could be or how i should determine what it is.As I am searching for the issue with my coolant, I am beginning to wonder if I am a victim to an impending blown gasket. Either Head gasket, intake gasket, or a combination of the two. I can't specifically describe where yet though, and I'm not sure what it would be from. 2008 Mustang GT, stroked 5.0 3v, RGR cams, R2300 S/C, suspension, Kooks LTs w/HF cats GT500 TB, Flowmaster cat-back exhaust, GT500 fuel pump setup. 1998 Ranger Supercab 4.0L, Medium Metallic XLT, auto, painted valve covers (10 HP), 30x9.5/15. I also noticed that there is oil & coolant leaking from the front of the engine. Ranger with that many miles could have coolant leaking from anywhere. I don't think it is rust because it is not very orange, it is more brown than anything.

But the other day i looked at the radiator cap and there is what looks like mud all in there. but thats no big deal because its maybe 1/2 a qt every oil change that it leaks. I know that it has a small oil leak because the kid I bought the truck from put a new clutch on it and i think he didn't replace the rear main seal when putting it back together. So I bought this truck a couple months back and have just been taking care of general things that need replacing, Brakes all around, Shocks all around, all the filters, plugs&wires, Fuel Pump, and a lot maintenance stuff.
