Engine Overheating Under Load
-
Check the air flow to the rad. Be sure it isn’t blocked by bugs no matter in good or bad weather.
-
Check to be sure all axles are rolling freely. Therefore, be sure there are no brakes or tires dragging.
-
Check the engine fan and belts to be sure they are operating properly.
-
Check outside air temperature. If the air temperature is hot while you’re driving, gear down.
-
Turn off the air conditioning on steep grades in hot weather. This will help keep the engine cool.
-
Check the oil and coolant levels when the engine is cool. Check for leaks.
