L.F. came to town because they didn't believe the lifts were overheating, now he believes and they term the application as severe. We know it was a tough application, but other OEM's run without overheating. Everyone has a weak feature or two, we just can't seem to get away from the overheating, which leads to other failures. We go through this every time they introduce a new model, if you know the past, you can predict the future.
The first step is to remove the (Sales Pitch) lint screen, once the lint screen is removed from the radiator shroud, it leaves an opening, I pop rib-it a strip of rubber over that opening. May seem to be a small opening, but remember it is always the little things we overlook.
This is the closest thing to a Technician forum I have found, the factory will not share info, success or failure. They cure cancer with toe nail clipper's, no matter what the symptom's or known cause, they are going to clip your toe nails first.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
