Over heating 6V92

[Jay Darst]

Thanks Rob.

I cleaned the radiator before leaving for NY. Really wasn't dirty on
my either.

I have made sure that the coolant is as full as possible. Started
and ran engine. Coolant does not get up to operating temp, according
to the dash gage. The temp is around 160, which is where it stays +/-
5 degrees.

Went for a ride, temp never made it to 190 where it used to only
deviate 5 degrees.

The coolong fan did kick on a few times, but according to the gage,
it should not have.

Too hot, too cold, poor circulation. Pump? Thermostat?
