Y61 Still overheating..
Hi Guys, iv tried near everything so iv turned to the forums for some advice or help.
I Brought a Patrol around 3-4 months ago and after a week of owning it I discovered it’s getting hot. At first I done all the standard measures and now have gone to all the lengths I can think of and the problem persists. The patrol is near factory motor wise, just had a 3” lift and 35’s, whinch bar and roof cage. Here’s what iv done so far.
New thermostat
Blocked the bypass completely
Installed 3 core 52mm radiator with electric fans
Had earthing points cleaned and or replaced
After market water temp gauge on dash
Highway cruising it sits around 100 degrees but any slight incline or acceleration and the tempature shoots up. By the time I pull over the factory gauge no longer reads hot.
From what iv learnt that highway cruising temp is far higher than it already should be. I’m out of ideas and ready to give up and send it to a shop. Anyone had a similar problem ? Or might know a solution ?
No my water is not bubbling or spewing out, I don’t think I have a cracked head or head gasket

Welcome to the forum. Which engine is it? Is the fan shroud fitted?
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Some members have had success using an after market water pump. @mudski should be able to help you.

Iv checked and replaced the thermostat to a 76.5 genuine Nissan one, made no difference

FWIW: The oldest faithful GQ ute did truly appreciate UFI’s full replacement fan/viscous after 25 year old OEM viscous started slipping up Thunderbolts Summer Highway hauling climb
