If this problem started after the engine was pressure washed I would have a good
look at the coolant temperature sensor and connector. Most pressure washers make
more than enough pressure to push water past the seal on the connector and into
the sensor connection.AModelCat, Rideandrepair and Elroythekid Thank this. -
6000lb load direct back to Brantford Ont in the am. Wish me luck. Then I'm 2 days from home where I can deal with it or I have a friend who has shops up there he trusts.

Good for you Elroythe kid, Not a heavy load. You get to Brantford, She is coming your way then. You was given some good advice from the other Truckers on here. Not much these's Guys haven't run into, concerning repairs.
Elroythekid and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
Take it to Stewart and Stevenson. They are Detroit house. There's one on the other side of the freeway from the Petro in San Antonio.
They also have W.W.Williams on their sign. Also Detroit house. Why even F around?Elroythekid and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
I headed north once again and it seemed to fix itself? The rapid swings of the gauge seemed to smooth out and even tho it was a hot day it stayed just above 175, to well below 200.
I'm up on the 30 east now and the weather cooled off A LOT and its started swinging rapidly again, tho not as high as it was. There is no evidence of it pressuring the expansion tank. As long as it works this way I'll keep heading towards home. -
Maybe just one of the thermostats is sticking closed. Add that to all the other maybes. I don’t think engine fan was mentioned. I’m sure you can hear it when it’s engaged. Good news is you’re not adding coolant.
