M103 running warm on freeway, water pump?
So it hit 110F yesterday and i almost feel like cooling is slightly worse than last year.
Fan clutch was new last year and locks up/roars as it’s supposed to Radiator is 2 years old, condenser 2 years old. Water pump now has 120k on it...thermostat is a couple years old Coolant level is good, reservoir cap is good holds pressure (2 years old as well) Coolant mix leans 70/30 water G05 On the freeway at 3pm at the hottest part of the day at 75mph it’s still running at ~96C...slowing down it hits 108C (30-40mph). I know this environment is the extreme. The fact that it still runs at 96C at 75mph tells me: A) radiator is blocked, but that can’t be true because it’s new (no leafs/debris all clean no bent fins) B) coolant flow is low so the heat isn’t being circulated fast enough, which would be pump related. I’m leaning replacing the pump, but I don’t know if I have no rust in system that I’m condeming pump for no reason. Anything under 100F and ZERO issues, cools fine. Any thoughts?
