Radiator - 1 yr
water pump 1 1/2 yr
thermo 1mo
hoses are fairly new
with all these replacements you'd think it would be running where it should be. Gauges all read well within range
Granted, we're here in Phx AZ, but everytime I get out of the truck, I feel all this heat emitting from the engine compartment and I know this is not normal
I am worried about it melting our new hoses! some bucks there! (one of em was $106.00)!
Could this be a gauge problem?
Other problems - the spark plugs were replaced 1 yr ago and they're covered in ash buildup, has no acceleration, doesn't seem to want to kick down to pass (spankin new tranny)
and I think it is time to rebuild the throttle bodies - I smell gas.
It hates Arco gas and loves Chevron or Mobile gas.
One extra little thing - the rear anti-loc light keeps coming on! @#$&*$!

It's a 1990 3.slow / automatic
