All good mate. The 75-85c was purely a comparison to how it used to react. Same incline, same revs, same gear same ambient temps, the water temps would never budge.
Drove it yesterday. And it saw 90c on Ironbark rd Yarrambat at 60kph. Pulled over to have a look and the fan was locked. Where I thought it hadn’t. Mustn’t had got it hot enough prior.
I’d hate to see what it would be like if it was actually hot outside.

I got the quickaz one and he's a good mate of mine. Much easier to install than the others from what I've read. I had no issues at all and even Darren found out how easy it was as I replaced a water pump on the beach in tassie haha

Righto, bits are off. Rad, fan assembly and water pump. Gonna put a stockie back in.

Now something’s got me rattled. About at the start of the year I put on new belts. All Gates brand, as this is what I sell at work. To my surprise, upon removing the a/c belt, I find a Dayco branded belt on there. Near burnt my hands just touching the devils shit. Lol.
So who put this belt on and why? It’s only been at one workshop this year for a dyno run and pump adjustment. Very strange. Hmm.
Anyhoo, moving forward.
Got the Quikaz setup coming hopefully in the coming days, new water pump tomorrow, and I’ll fit some Fleetrunner belts from Gates, super heavy duty belts, @Hodge ; and @PeeBee ; know about. Toughest belts on the market.
Happy days.
Just thinking back on what I’ve done in the last few weeks, yeah she still runs hot but she runs great now and I did notice too the temps dropped quicker too, so I think I’m getting there. Just a fine tune of the things that aren’t right.
Last things I’d like to do is fit the oil temp sensor and an external oil cooler (just coz). But more research is needed for these.
The bloody never ends though. Once I’ve done these things, I’m looking for the next thing. Changing the air box to something better than the Fatz pod box, rear locker, moving the aux battery into the rear and using better battery. Make up a swing away for the lhs of the rear bar where it’s permanently attached to the small barn door and both can be opened at once.
Where does it stop people?! I think ISO life is starting to hit.

Haha yeah funny about that. Got them in, all torqued up to spec, put the top mount back on, primed the fuel filter and then cranked it over. Ran rough as guts, Im thinking its just air it will clear itself out, nup, still running like it had a lumpy stage 3 Crow cam in it. Started to smell diesel fuel, looked under the Patrol and saw fuel everywhere on the ground. Upon inspection, I had forgotten to tighten up the injector line that happen to be right under the Intercooler. So off it all came again for a 5 second nip up.
After all that she drives waaaaay better now, a lot less of the black stuff when it give it the berries. Happy days and a good $150 well spent getting them reset, cleaned and tested.
