Overheated...efan or Tstat?
truck overheated at the carwash...thankfully safety sensor shut it down. Waited 30mins, started her up and drove 2 miles back home. Seems the hi-speed efan isnt coming on. Relays look good on the fans, so assumed it was resistor and if so, gonna revert back to clutch fans!
BUT NOW WONDERING IF ITS A STUCK T-STAT?
I'm so pissed...only got 50 miles out of storage and this happens, then I get a worsening whine as I glide to a stop (but not in neutral) that I think is my transfer case...it was fine under the cover!

A relay can look good but not be good, did you check it for operation? What resistor? Do you have a inferred heat gun? or have a friend that has a inferred heat gun? Use the gun to check if the thermostat is stuck. They typically stick in the open position, so I doubt that is your problem.
At this point...I'm just gonna drop it off and have it once overed!

Explain the infrared & thermostat deal. Are u aiming it at the Tstat or the upper & lower rad hoses?
