Ok i got this bronco it is a 1990 not sure on the year of the motor yet.But hear is my problem i get no heat in the truck.So i got a new thermastat and put that in it is a 180 dagree one..still no heat so i put cardboard over the radator i drive 7 miles into town heat works awsome but the truck is boiling over.the temp gage don't move even when i drive from owen rd in fenton to hill rd in flint.but to day i went out in our back feild in two drive to mess around a little temp gage went up to half way on the stock ford gage heat like crazy from the heater but the truck was boiling over again does this mean i need a new water pump or is there maybe some thing plugging the cooling system the truck has a huge radator and it looks brand new any help would be great thanks Dan

i knew someone with problems like that, I think his was water pump... I believe the fins were carooded so bad that they were not even there anymore. but yes could be lots of things.

well i change the heater hoses around and now i have heat and when i take it out back and rrd it don
't boil over.So i think it is fixed.I think i will still get a aftermarket temp gage for it.Will get the real test on the 14th the closeing day at the mounds...
