It has the isuzu 4jb1 motor. When I purchased it not one of the gauges worked. Well as of right now it has all new gauges that seem to be functioning properly. Now that the temp gauge is actually reading, it seems to peg the gauge after about ten minutes of running wide open. I replaced the thermostat, and the temp sending unit with one physically identical from the auto parts store. I also pulled the inspection plates to see the oil cooler and there were a few mouse nests. So I hosed those out along with the radiator fins to hopefully clean any dirt and debris out. Also noticed the the coolant hose on the right which goes to the thermostat housing gets very hot while the other seems to stay cool. Not sure how to check the fan but with it running in higher rpms, I can feel it blowing air out of the right side of the radiator behind the exhaust tip but I can't feel any air coming out on the left side. Feel like I should be concerned about that. Still having issues with the gauge maxing out. Any recommendations on where to start next?</p></blockquote><p></p>
