My friend has a 95 7.3...
His temp guage barely makes it to the normal mark when his truck running. With a load on it, the guage jumps all around.. With the highest he ever sees being it making it to the "N" on Normal...
Is this common for this year of truck? I have helped him replace his radiator and thermostat so I know they are good... and when he's pulling and it makes it to the "N" you can hear the fan clutch lock up, making the motor area noisier.. I am just trying to get a feeling for what is normal and what is not...
He's seems to think its not getting warm enough because when it's been idleing for a while, like waiting at a supermarket, when he goes to take off it feels as though the EBV has kicked in and takes a minute for it to open back up again...
He lives here in Havasu (a little piece of hell on Earth in the summer) and it's happening. I told him I think we should just gut his EBPV and be done with it, but I wanted to get some others Idea's before we start changing things.
So what do you think.??
