overcooling condition

Hello,

I replaced my thermostat this weekend due to it sticking and overheating. On the initial drive, temps were staying within a good range 180-210 degrees F. On the second drive, temp never increased above 150 degrees F. I believe the new thermostat got stuck open. I do have the housing with the temp sensor port, so I was going to open that and check to see if the thermostat is sticking up, but what could cause this? Do I need to flush the coolant out of the system and refill with all new? Not sure what would cause this as it was working normally on the first drive. No coolant is leaking from anywhere I can see.

I purchased a new 75" Samsung TV and just assumed I could get analog audio out to hook up to my older 5.1 Yamaha for the audio only. Can anyone shed some light on what I may need to do what I want. Thanks in advance

Fan shroud impossible to find

May 17, 2025, 11:39:07 am by max2912 | Views: 145 | Comments: 1

Hello everybody,
I am Max from Italy.
This is my first time on this forum.
I am on a restoration project for my 1976 K20 V8 400 3/4 ton with A/C.
I can't find a new fan shroud.
I attached the pictures of the actual one, but I am not sure if it's original.
Does someone know where I can find an original one.
Best,
Max

Roller Grease (Grease compatibility?)

May 16, 2025, 05:25:16 pm by IdahoMan | Views: 193 | Comments: 1

Quick question.

I'm following the bd's instruction to help with my sluggish power door windows.

-What type of grease was used on these truck's windows?
-Is there a method of determining an unknown grease type?

I have a canister of Super Lube Synthetic and a tube of Marine Grease (Calcium Sulfonate). Want to make sure whatever I use is compatible.

PS: Is there a test one can do to determine if two unknown greases are compatible?

Thank you,
IM
