could be a failed gauge or failed sending unit.

I've always followed the idea that if I'm in there, I might as well replace anything else that can wear. If the bearings and races are relatively new, then I tend not to worry. Otherwise, replace.

Also, make sure that your ubolts are torqued properly. If they aren't, then the springs can shift which puts pressure on those clamps, which in turn causes them to spread and eventually slide off.

Sounds to me like you have a bare wire somewhere that is being shorted out, causing the fuse to blow. I'd start checking all hot wires in that circuit.

I wonder if there is a backflow device that could be used, like a one-way check valve that would allow the fluid to leave, but nothing else to get back up in and clog it? I've seen drain tubes clogged by dirt dobbers before, and also get clogged from off-roading through mud holes.

Thanks Talyn. Did the OP get the system flushed and did it still overheat?

did you get it fixed?

there are also many high flo pass through cats, but they are more expensive

another thing to consider is when you have backfires, especially on older systems, you can blow out your catalytic converter or muffler. Then when driving the chunks can block the exit pipe and cause a restriction, which can lead to sluggish driving and stalls. Usually when its shut off, the...

glad to hear its something relatively simple

steering components, improper alignment, worn ball joints, etc. will cause those issues among others. Also, were the tires brand new with a mfg date in the last year, or were they used / older tires that were swapped on? Note that you can also get new tires that have a radial pull inside of...

regarding the CPS, what brand is it? Those can fail right out of the box if its one of the autozone / advance cheapies

We stopped carrying them through another company years ago as they copied other companies designs, used thinner materials and the fit / quality wasn't good.
