* The most common causes of what you are describing is clogged radiator, problems with engine fan or clutch, or a bad thermostat.

* What are your oil temps? overheating turbo will cause oil temps to be high more-so than water temps.

* What kind of engine load are you putting to it? -- gearing? rpm? etc.

* Do you have a pyro and boost gauge installed like I suggest in my vidoes? -- If not, you are just driving it blindly, and guessing at your problems.

Just changed thermostat. Oil temp gauge not working. Boost gauge works and when water temp gauge reads overly high boost drops to 25psi and seems to lose power. Have 4.33 gearing and loaded with 60-70k. I tried running rpms as high as i can to try and get fan to pull in more air but doesnt work. Ive noticed if i downshift to a gear where i can pull the load up using the least amount of throttle its seems to be able to bring down water temp. Basically the more i throttle the more it gets hot. strange thing is on short pulls even with load or any other time it runs great. Its jus those long one where im constantly climbing for 10 min or more.
