Well we headed for AZ Thursday morning leaving Riverton about 8 am temps 8 below got about 5 miles down the road and the temps started going up fast, got a check engine light and a few minutes got a stop engine light, got her pulled over in a casino parking lot to take a look.
Got it cooled off started in again sat there for 15 minutes and never got over 163 on my pro-link I thought it might be a stuck theromstat.
So tried it again with same results.
Call Pierce and we visited and thought maybe a sensor looked at all wires and nothing out of the ordinary.
So called a friend who has a truck repair shop in Riverton he concurred with the stuck theromstat.
He says bring it by and we will get you in😀 so he had his guys take a look and there's got it done.
You lucked out there. Nice to have friends. :)
Did you happen to notice what temps your thermostats are? I was surprised to find mine were 170º. I suspect that a PO had overheating issues and installed the 170ºs to have a little more head room.
see ya

The shop took the serial # off the valve cover and looked up the spec's, Detroit calls for 170 he was surprised as well.
Im glad it was an easy fix. That thing looks so easy to work on! Im looking at a familiar hose, looks like a piece of cake on yours.
