I need some help figuring out what is going on with my truck. It is an '89 F-150 with a 300 6 cyl. When I pull my trailer the temp. gauge will go 1/2 way to 3/4 of the way to Hot. Normally it runs 1/4 of the way up. After awhile the temp. returns to normal. This process will repeat itself at random. It occurs more often with the air conditioner on, but will also occur with the A/C off. I have tried different thermostats and I even took the thermostat out, no difference. When I shut the truck off with the temp. gauge 1/2 to 3/4 way to hot (not hot, but getting there) the truck will perculate like a coffee pot. I can watch the water circulate in the radiator. I have flushed the radiator. I have cleaned the outside of the radiator. This morning I put a thermostat back in for winter. Afterward I ran the truck to check for leaks. While it was running I noticed the heater hoses got hot but the upper and lower radiator hoses remained cool. The heater hoses stayed hot on A/C, heat, and off. Could the heater core be plugged and the top stay hot while the engine runs cool? I'm at a loss. Can anyone help? Thanks for the time.

12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
