I have a 1986 Ford f350 with a 460 v-8, truck is carbureted.
the two problems are :
1: truck is getting hot when you are driving down the road like on the freeway or open highway, but it does not get hot at an idle ; weird right (truck has clutch fan fyi)
2: after I drive the truck to a store or somewhere and i let it sit for 5 or 10 minutes and try to start it again it takes a while and makes kind of a growling sound, maybe takes 3-5 seconds
I have been trying to solve the problem so here is some stuff that i have done and it did not make a difference
radiator flush and it was 40% clogged
new thermostat
new reservoir
new solenoid
new fuel filter
new ground strap
and engine was rebuilt about 10,000 miles ago so this truck is very frustrating.
please let me know what you all think. thank you in advance
