Hi to all you 4x4 friends,
I am new to this so be nice to me.
Have a GU ST4500 on gas. When pulling an 18' van I have no trouble on the straights and up and down hills, but try to get it to go up a steep and longer hill, the temp gauge borders on 'Red Danger Spot'. Changed the thermostat which indicated wear and possible sticking. Wired Fan2 via a 2-way switch so that I can manually switch on Fan 2 if I feel it necessary to do so. But still over heats on a steep and longer hill. Has been suggested to fit an extra cooler to the cooling system. Can anyone give me a hint as to what to try next. Must say I like the extra cooling idea. Where can I get one of these units?
