Truck in my sig. And by intermittent overheat i mean 30 seconds after i noticed it on the heat gauge it is back to normal. and it will only do it like once a week. sometime when i'm driving, sometimes after coming to a stop.
Not technically not an overheat, 3/4 on the gauge instead of the normal half.
I have noticed that sometimes my engine fan is engaged at startup on a cold engine. which is confusing since it is a viscous clutch. When this fan gets fully engaged you now by the semi truck like roar.
Today (96F) i noticed the heat at 3/4 at a stop sign and when I pulled out i didn't hear it roar up with the RPM like normal. but it was back to half buy the time i got up to speed.
For what it is worth that much swing in temp isnt the normal experence in the truck. there is only a little, even when i was towing 6k in 107F heat.
So whats yall take on it? viscous fan clutch, t-stat, wonky heat gauge?
