After ls6 intake swap!Running Hot???
 

Just as the title says.After swapping out the old truck intake and installing the ls6 intake ran it around the block it started to run hot.I running the 160 stat.I think the stat might be stuck,but whant to get some input from u guys,AlsoI used the same map sensor from the truck Would erractic idling from the map be doing that? Do I need to buy a map sensor for the ls6 intake?Your input is greatly appreciated.Mike

The first place I would look is for are the coolant crossover tubes for signs of leaking. Did you do a TB bypass?

Yea I did the bypass.I changed all the steem vent little gaskets.I checked and I dont have any leaks.I'll check it out in the morning.Thats why I filled it with water 1st so if I have to drain it,its just water.Any other ideas??Mike

you have air in the cooling system. pump the top radiator hose, and i mean pump. it will take a while.

+1, yep, you probably got an air pocket when you cracked the cooling system open

winner.

did you swap water pumps with the intake swap, or just put in a spacer and turn the neck?

Yea I swapped water pumps.I used an 07 escalade 6.2 water pump.The neck comes out at an angle so it misses the throttle body.Well the stat was sticking so I replaced it and rerouted my vent tube to the top rad hose and all is good now.Now fix a header exhaust leak and a retune and I'll be good to go,for now lol!!!! Thanks for the help guys,Mike
