Hi all

My 2h turbo diesel is running hot at highway speeds. I have
fitted a new water pump new thermostat,radiator hoses and had the radiator cleaned but that has only made a small improvment so now out of idears as what to do so any susgestions would be appreciated.

Hey Brett. Just wondering has the pump settings and exhaust gas temps been checked? is it running to much fuel down the throat? just a couple of things to look at. also , not that it will affect highway croozing but u may want to check the viscous coupling fan as it may have lost its efficency( usually notice when running at lower speeds)

i had the same problem with my previous 60 series turned out to be a combination of bugs and stuff in the air con condensor and the fan clutch was cactus.

If you buy a new fan hub make sure you spend the money and buy a davis craig or get a spacer made and fit a fixed fan Ive just been through overheating problems on my 2H I replaced everything then got the s**ts and bought a v8 diesel and still had the same overheating the only thing left was the fan hub from the old motor so fitted a fixed fan and worked like a treat but like I said the davis craig fans are good as well upto 90per cent lock hope this helps.
