This is my son's vehicle, and I am not where it is.
Driving at highway speed, engine started heating up suddenly, and lost all heat to interior. Pulled over, let it cool off some, then drove a few more miles to destination, it heated up again.
Top rad hose hot and under pressure. Lower rad hose cold. Both heater hoses cool to touch. Rad cap not hot while engine running, but heats up when it sits with engine off for a few minutes.
Installed new thermo and gasket, but made no difference.
Removed heater hose off rad housing, and with the engine running, there is pressure there. Time restraints didn't allow him to try and remove other heater (return) hose to see if it was coming through there, but I doubt it as there is no heat in the cabin. (This may be a separate issue?)
Thinking about removing lower rad hose to see if there is good flow through rad, but as above, time constraints.
He is at work today, so I am trying to find something out, that will help him solve this.
