Dirtymilkman Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I'd start with a thermostat if that hasn't been done. But at that age your radiator could be plugged or the cores are just getting rotten. We've re-cored quite a few with the heavier aftermarket cores and had great luck.

fjh Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 It could be the AC switch and The solenoids are also prone to failure even new out of the box we have had a rash of bad ones lately Unplug the green AC switch and wait a minute or so if the fan shuts down that could b your problem.

Mackpro Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Remove after cooler and clean front of radiator fins. We see lots of clogged radiators between aftercooler and radiator. Farm trucks are the worst about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a cooling problem, not a flow problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
