    That’s why you find the best to get that second opinion. Now, go kick some.

    Noted you mentioned that it looks like a newer radiator, is it the same size as OEM? Number of tube rows. Here’s another thing, if it has been replaced, did they put the spacers back in correct. The CAC and A/C condenser need to be spaced correctly or it will affect the air flow across the radiator.

    I'm not telling you this is the problem. Do what you want. But I do not recommend buying parts just because. Others have offered grand ideas. You need to fix it. Learn what is going on. Its not my truck. All I type and you heard "buy parts like its oriely and take them back". Crist. GET TEMPS.

    We are trying to help. But #### we can't fix it from here.

    @Lysdexis, when you get a temp reading, try to do it when the thermostat is open and coolant is flowing. What your looking for is the temp drop between the upper inlet and lower outlet.
    Just curious, what’s your coolant blend? If your above about 60/65 percent coolant to water, you can have heat problems. Believe it or not, water is a very effective heat transfer medium.

    Curiosity question. Is the A/C really cold when your driving, but no so when your sitting?

    Sinusitis can be awful... I have allergy to many things in the air... No quick fix for that... I treat it with homeopathy (histaminum 30c tablets), extract of propolis on my throat, vitamin C 1000 mg, steam inhalation whenever possible and drink plenty of water. All that aliviates some of the sneezing, the coughing and sore throat but I get better only when the agent causing that is no longer present. I know there are many allopathic drugs out there for that but I don't know if they work, never took any.

    Thanks for the tips. I have looked for a riders class and found some. I’m going to talk to the guy some more and go from there. It maybe out of my price range if he will even sell it.
