I have a '91 Isuzu Rodeo, 2WD, 6 cyl. Radiator is overheating. I have replaced thermostat and fan clutch(I thought is only overheating when running AC, but it is all the time). Any suggestions on what to do next?

This may or may not help. I have the same problem on my 95 Rodeo. Yesterday I was checking connections leading to the auxillary fan on the fornt of the radiator and found that the lead leading to the fan was loose. I disconnected then cleaned and reconnected it. Much to my surprise the fan the started to work. Once that happened I couldn't get my Rodeo to overheat.

you might want to check to see if that fan is present on yours. It should be mounted on the front of the radiator and the connector should be visable by looking between the grill and the radiatior.

Hope this helps.

Thanks GhostHawk. But unfortunately, my AC unit sits between the grill and the radiator. There is no type of auxillary fan in that general area. Thanks again for the suggestion.
