I have a 2001 FL70 with a 3126 CAT. Bought this truck 4 months ago from the orginal company with all documneted paperwork. Truck had 147K when i purchased it. Had it checked out by local mechanic and was suggested the turbo be replaced. That was done truck has ran fine. Until the weather has changed. With warmer weather I have one hill that we climb every night that pushes the trucks heat/temp up to 225-230 range, with no Ac on. So weve changed both thermostats and drained/flushed with new coolant. Still having trouble with that one hill. Temp not as high, 215-220 but still over heating.
Also another issue is after reading the forums on here i see where you guys are averaging around 9-10 MPG. Im no where close. I run 220 miles a night same route, same load(which is light) and im getting 7.3 on the money every night.
Guys any help will be greatly appreicated.
