Hi.
Lately I've been having issues with the temps in my blazer. A couple of weeks ago I changed the thermostat, antifreeze, and radiator cap with almost no improvement.
The temp rises quick to 210F and it stays there, until I get in stop and go traffic. Then it goes up to 235-240. Once I get to speed maybe it goes down to 220, but it never gets down to 210F.
Fan clutch seems to engage ok, but with the engine off and cold feels very stiff.
For replacement I can get a torflo severe duty (Autozone), and normal Napa one (seems to be made by Dorman).
Which one would be better?
Oh! And to top this overheating problem, I live in a very hot place. On average we get 110F in the shade, and has gone up to 120F. In direct sunlight it can get to 140F, so take that in consideration for your recomendation.
Thanks!
