    I came across this article from ForConstructionPros.com on maintaining engine lubricating oil. According to the article, up to 50 % of engine oil lubricated failures are caused by improper cooling system maintenance or are related to cooling system problems. That’s a lot of failures!

    Hi Rachel, well, I never "melted 'er down", but got pretty nervous halfway up a steep grade with a heavy load, and the water temp was up around 220. $750 dollars (20 years ago) later with a new radiator core, problem solved.
