    Engine not reaching operating temperature

    Alright i think im a little confused here. At first glance it looks like that hose that goes into the water pump from the surge tank goes behind the thermostat. What I think is actually happening is the thermostat is longer than most and can close this hole when the thermostat is closed. I think...

    Engine not reaching operating temperature

    I agree. the only problem im seeing is that the bottom hose from the surge tank goes into the water pump but it goes in behind the thermostat, not in front of it. So when the pump is turning its pulling the coolant out of the engine through the radiator into the surge tank and back into the...

Top passenger side of the radiator goes to top of surge tank (not the overflow on surge tank) Bottom of surge tank goes to an inlet...

    Engine not reaching operating temperature

    I have a problem with my 2004 Chevy Tahoe. Long story short I take frequent trips pulling my boat to go fishing. I noticed on the longer trips with lots of hills the engine temp would start to creep past the safe zone. I pulled the radiator and bought a big aluminum 3 core radiator. I also...
