Re: 1999 exployer problems 4.o sohc

Thanks Rod, I will.It seems to be charging ok so far.drove it to store tonite (8 miles round trip).Two miles from home the temp gauge was still showing cold. Then all the sudden it rose to 3/4 hot .A few seconds later it droped back to normal(1/2 way on gauge)...It droped slightly from normal then rose back to normal several times but never rose to hot again ..Was thinking maybe temp sending unit,but when I got home I raised hood and noticed some coolant seeping from radiator cap.Not sure how much I lost but the over flow tank was nearly empty.Could a clogged radiator cause this? Maybe air locked? Runs great aside from this problem.. Thermostat is a new Stant brand...190 degree..Oh,Also noted while driving that the heat wasn't as hot as it used to be when it finally kicked in. Was alot warmer and faster to start heating..Thanks again everyone
