I don't know if my 308 is overheating or if gauge is playing up.
It's mildly worked with big cam and 3000 stall Trimatic.
The needle starts to rise about half way in 20 30 minutes of driving. Then, it starts to rise right up to red if I continue driving.
The motor doesn't ping or feel sluggish at that stage either.
I don't hear any bubbling of coolant and overflow bottle purges just a tiny bit of water after shut off.
The radiator has been reco months back. I've changed thermostat and temp sender.
Running clutch fan and shroud. Water pump is working fine.
I have however recoed the alternator because it was charging too high. My front head lights blew because of the extra charge.
Can the overcharging have an effect on the temp gauge playing up?
Any ideas?
