Have a overheating problem with my ford ranger.

Have you measured actual engine temperature using a inferred thermometer at coolant temperature sensor body? Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved. hewettranchracin New User Aug 27, 2011, 8:06 PM Post #3 of 5 (2234 views) Re: overheating ranger Sign In We changed the gauge. It is a VDO 0-250 temp. it only got to 200 this time. also we put a chip in it. Do you think this would cause it to get hot ? Thx for the reply Larry zmame Veteran / Moderator Aug 27, 2011, 9:49 PM Post #4 of 5 (2225 views) Re: overheating ranger Sign In 200F would be in normal range if it starts getting going around the 250F then I would worry. IF it gets hot again feel both upper and lower rad hoses. If one is hot and one is cold you have flow issue or air in the system. I would also get a chemical test done to make sure it's not a headgasket leak. No a chip won't cause it to overheat.

IF class rules permit it get an electric unit mounted to radiator frame . You'll gain a few ponies to boot.
