Over heating on Ford Taurus after changing radiator?
I just changed out a radiator on a 1998 Ford Taurus because it was pulling the transmission fluid into the cooling system, but wasn't running hot. Now it's running hot. What did I do wrong?
When refilling the cooling system, air becomes trapped at highest point. This is due to the thermostat being closed. Once the engine is started the void does not disappear until the thermostat has opened. In the mean time the highest point, meaning the head(s), are deprived of coolant. Damage could occur.
To rectify this condition, loosen a heater hose at the engine to allow the air to purge while filling. Once the coolant appears quickly replace the hose. Fill the radiator & the expansion tank to the COLD level. Leave the rad. cap loose. Allow the engine to come to operating temperature. DO NOT stand near the rad. with the engine running. Shut engine down. Allow engine to cool for ten minutes. Recheck coolant level.
