Looking for some sugestions on this unit. Have replaced thermostat, water pump, radiator, all hoses. Pulled head and checked for any restrictions or blockage. none to be found. Have checked the valves, timming and inching pedal for proper adjustments. This unit will run about 30 to 45 min. and peg the temp gauge. running at a temp of 230 F. Also replaced the fan with a high flow fan and a smaller dia. pulley, all parts put on this unit are nissan parts. Unit has good circulation through radiator. Transmission fluid temp is runing at 230 F also. Any sugestions anyone Thanks.

Hi Greg;
You are involved with an issue none too common with the JO2, H25 engine, with the two speed transmission and LPG fuel system. Has the radiator been replaced with an OEM radiator that has been manufactured in the Turkish Republic? Has the fan spacer and mounting bolts been replaced from what was installed from the factory? Is the engine's fuel system tweeked in? Has the engine's timing been adjusted for the H25 with LPG fuel?
hi flow fans are used alot in applictions where ambiant heat is a problem, also in cotton mills etc.
its basically just a smaller pulley to make fan turn at a faster ratio for more air flow. Sometimes you get a special fan to accomodate for higher rpm rate.
Some things to ponder:
*is fan on correctly? (hopefully not on backwards)
*does hood need extra venting for better air flow?
*how does truck run with hood open? still run hot?
*if radiator is painted, remove the paint, paint acts like an
insulator and can make one run hotter than normal.
*hopefully you have blow truck off and its free from dirt and
dust (especially the engine and radiator area)
*you say a paperroll clamp? how does the truck run when you just drive it around without operating the clamp?
*are you running the correct mixture of coolant to water ratio?
a 50/50 mix is a must, DO NOT run pure coolant in the system.
*have you tried running without a thermostat to see how it
performs? does it still run hot? remove the thermostat, throw
it in a pot of boiling water and see if its opening. another way
to check is watch the water in the radiator and see if its
flowing when the engine is running. Generally when the
thermostat opens and closes you will get a rise and fall of the
coolant level. (ok you already did this so disreguard)
Of course BE CAREFUL because if it runs hot it
will run over and spew out everywhere when you least expect
it. Coolant burns are very painful and can be bad.
These are just a few things that come to mind while pondering your overheating issue. Good luck!
The high flow fan was suggested by nissan its an all metal fan. Fan shroud and fan spacer are present and in good condition. I think the radiator is three row design. I'll have to check on that. This unit is set up with a paper roll clamp attachment.
Greg when you mean high flow fan, are you meaning the fan designated for the platinum series (hint)? Is radiator 2 or 3 row design. Check if fan shroud and fan spacer is present. Also check for lean fuel mixture and recheck timing. Is the operator using it as a forkdozer? What application is the unit running? I know there is a long distance between rad and fan on these units.
