Hi. I've got a couple of Fords from the 80s. A 1985 F350 rollback with a 6.9 diesel and a 1988 F600 box truck with a 6.6 Diesel

I'm looking for information on the F600 cooling system. Where should I post that question?

Thanks,

Scott

 

What kind of info were you needing ?

 

I need to see where all the cooling system hoses and heater hoses go. I can supply a short video of how it is. It looks wrong to me. Specifically one hose that goes from the top of the engine to the top of the radiator, bypassing the thermostats. And both heater hoses seem to go to basically the same place under the thermostat. Just slightly separated going in to two chambers below the thermostat.

I couldn't find an F600 specific forum and couldn't even select F600 as a vehicle when signing up. So I figured I'd ask here to see if I'm even in the right place.

And thanks for responding.

 

If you told anyone today that you have an engine with 2 thermostats, wonder what they would say.

I vaguely remember working on them , but that does go back a bit.

Will see what I can find in my old manuals..

 

They would probably think I was stupid and didn't know what I was talking about. But as I reread my post, they would probably think that adding the s was a typo. Especially since I neglected to add the s to the next two times I wrote thermostat in the post. I must admit, the two thermostats kinda took me by surprise when I first saw them,. I figured the only possible reason to have two would be to allow more coolant flow.

I bought a 1988 TRUCK SHOP MANUAL Vol, E. but it was pretty much useless in this regard. Hope your manuals are better for this. I don't mind buying the manuals. I like having the info on all my vehicles.
