take the cooling system back to standard

new Fan & Viscous hub
remove your sock - they are for feet - or 1950's cars, not modern motors
use Nissan Coolant - NOTHING else
then take it to a Diesel Mechanic and get it dyno tuned
if the pump timing is out - your wasting time ginning around with possible maybe this or maybe that
also
instead of passing small amounts if information every now and again with your posts in 2 threads
start the story, and write it all completely, so we CAN help
sorry if I sound rude - but this is annoying trying to help with little bits or NO information
like trying to draw teeth out, and I am not a Dentist
PLEASE
Isn't the thread "Can I for TD42" onlyQuote:

Yes the bypass ideas for the TD42 only.
I haven't tried it so I can't say one way or the other, just passing some info on, that might help ya out.

Landy does have a bit of strange problem tho, hope we can help him sort it without having to transplant him into a GQ TD42 with an aftermarket Pump... Fuel pump that is...
Well as Shultz would say , Me know nothing, well about zd cooling anyway, so this is where I bow out.
Sorry I couldn't help.
Shit hit the fan the other day . We were going up the range heater on overdrive off.no trailer.no load.empty.we thought not a problem . Ha ha .
Nissan gauge just below half .aftermarket gauge 87 where it sits normal.going up hill temp creps up going 40kph gets to just below 100 .nissan gauge hasnt moved .. wifes driving she pulls over to let it cool .goes down to 87 off we go again .same shit twice more . Third time truck up her ass temp goes up and up she abuses me i abuse her nowhere to stop temp goes to 110 very bad abuse from both partys as we stop heat from heater is boiling us . But wait nissan gauge has hardly gone up a tiny flyshit. It shows no problem while motor is boiling . No wonder first motor blew . After cooling we took off again .both sides sorry for what was said . Needless to say one gu up for sale were buying an older swb xlt petrol on gas auto 1990 model . sorry guys but thank you for all the help and suggestions .
Thousands of 3 Litre Patrols out there that don't overheat .... gotta get to the root cause of the problem and taking it to an expert could definitely be helpful in this situation.
Yep.. something is not well..
This massive 4 core radiator you bought..
Is it a quality brand name or some ebay $100 buck job?
Some ebay ones have been known to cause more harm than good with extremely poor flow..
Have you checked your water pump at all??
Imo remover the sock.
With a well maintained system I can't see the need..
I know 5 cars personally and owned one of them with half a million or more kilometers on em and never run a sock and never had blockages..
Regular services prevent this..
