I have a '95 E250 with the 300 6 cylinder that I can't figure out the overheating problem. There's no problem during the colder winter months but this last week with the temperature in the 50's and 60's, it's been overheating. I'll be driving along and the idiot gauge will be at the first quarter mark, sometimes it stays there but lately after a few miles driving, highway or city, it'll climb to the half way mark. Sometimes it'll stay there but usually it will climb up to the hazard area.
There are times when it will bounce back and forth a little before shooting up. I can pull over and hear the coolant boiling in the overflow tank. I've pressure tested the cap and radiator and replaced the thermostat. The fan clutch is working and no leaks can be found.
A mechanic thought the problem is a plugged head gasket but if that was the case wouldn't it also overheat in the northwest winters?
Anyhow, this is my work truck, that I need to fix. Any help is much appreciated.
