    Sir vin247,

    If you already checked / applied the suggestions made by our Tsikot Guru's, try also checking your radiator clutch fan if it is loose already. Loose clutch fan is very inefficient in cooling your radiator specially at high RPM's, thus causing high temp and probably premature water evap.

    i second this motion.. haha... malaking role ng clutch fan in maintaining your temperature.... pag dumudulas na yan hihina hatak hangin sa raditor pati sa condenser...

    Sir, yung clutch fan na tinutukoy dito ay yung "clutch fan kung saan naka-connect front blade ng fan sa harap"

    pag sumilip ka sa sasakyan at rear wheel drive, makikita mo after the raditor yung puti na blade, naka-attach yun sa clutch fan....
    iba yung sa clutch ng manual transmission

    transmission clutch



    Radiator clutch fan

    Sir vin,

    Sir miko was right, the clutch we're mentioning is the clutch which holds the radiator fan blades. Try manually rotating the fan with your hands (of course with the engine off), if there is no restriction at all or very minimal, then it is loose already. You might have to recharge it with silicon oil or replace.

    sa experience ko repalcement clutch fan is cheap compared to orig na para sa spefici vehicle pero malayo ang performance nila at itatagal...

    mas makapit at accurate yung clutch fan na orig sa pag control ng silicon oil sa loob mechanism, thus mas makapit,, mas makapit clutch fan mas malamig... mas happy ang raditor at condenser...

    if the thread starter mentioned he usually checks his coolant level daily, then probably the silicone seating of his radiator cap is probably busted and corroded due to dirty radiator. In other words, it cannot keep the cooling system pressurized thus it loses a lot of coolant, hence, the overheat. IMHO, it is best for him to have his radiator cleaned, his engine block water galley undergo lavramon, change his radiator cap with a new one, recharge his fan clutch with silicone oil and finally a 50:50 or 60:40 distilled H2O-coolant mixture

    it is not a smart idea to open your radiator cap daily. the manufacturer never intended for the owner/operator to break the seal every time. there will be a considerable wear and tear on the sealing surfaces between the radiator cap and the radiator neck. no car owners manual tells you to open it on a daily basis. maybe every oil change would be okay. annually, have the antifreeze checked for protection level, pressure test the cooling system and check the other related items like the fan clutch, radiator fan switch and relay, fan belt, etc. follow the vehicle owner's manual service intervals. your intentions are good but the results might be detrimental to the cooling system

    Sir vin,

    I did own a Delica 2002 before and I would tell you, not having a manual is not a problem. Given the common 4D56T engine of our Delica's, most technicians are very familiar with it. And I bet given that jurrasic (but very reliable!) engine of Mitsu, in time, you can easily understand its basic maintenance.

    I would say, until now, I really miss that truck!
