overheating?
#11
thanks all.
I didn't remove the thermo for daily use (I didn't do it before), it was for testing that the thermo wasn't the cause of high temp.
ok scenarios:
1. the catout after the 2 cat.conveter, and it's just one.
2. I guse this it, I think he reused it because it's steel!.
3. the thermo, will when I toke the car for changing the spark plug they left the car running and the temp gauge was on the red when I get into the car, but according to the dealer engineer that can cause only if it was left for long time, nore over I drove the car for long time.
I forget to tell you that I have removed the pipe from the throttle bady and installed an adapter to connect the 2 pipes (before the throttle and after).
they are installing the head back in the dealer workshop and it will take 3 days, I will update when new info.

If you bypassed the throttle body with coolant hose that is ok but make sure it is connected to the radiator. I am still suspicious about what the dealer mechanic said about overheating, I have left my truck idling for 4+ hrs when hunting (turkey in the spring) and it never overheated.
I would like to talk to that dealer about calling there mechanics, engineers, that is complete disgrace to real engineers.
