I picked up a unit 2 weeks ago. Got on the roads d the lower hose went. Replaced. 10 miles later upper hose blew. Replaced it. Filled it up and took off. 5 miles later it started to get hot. Replaced water pump. Let it idle for a while seemed good. Took off again and it started to get hot. Checked it out and had 3 small holes in radiator. At that point I trailered. Had radiator rebuilt and took off to Georgia with it and about 70 miles it got hot and popped the new rĂ diator. Went back to shop and pulled a known good radiator out of one of my units and swapped it out. Got 150 miles and she's running hot again. Brand new pump, rad, hoses. It never had a thermostat. The lines running back to heater are no longer there and there is a hose from the bypass to the back of the manifold. No heater hoses either. All I can think of is I got a bad pump but it will run cool for a while them just hear up. Ideas anyone? As I sit here getting feasted upon by super Mosquitos. Help
Thanx. David
