For some reason, on my 3456 Dak, when I am towing my 13,546 boat, my truck seems to overheat. I have put an oversized radiator, high flow water pump, and no thermostat. What could be the problem?

The solution is simple really... Fire-up your boat motors and put them to full throttle (in the FWD direction). Doing this should develop the thrust you need to push your '3456' Dak, and thus, reduce the load and help with your overheating problem.

A side benefit is that when your boat engines burn up, you'll no longer have a need to tow that boat ;)

I might suggest a smaller boat next time as their easier to "troll" in.

I've found, atleast in the 34th century, that if one reaches hyperspace within a milliseconds of departure that the overheating is not a problem. Its that damn 3rd to 5th dimensional jump transition period that causes the overheating. Try Dr. Zoomie's 4th phase dimensional warp transitioner to your ion core generator to minimize the sub-particle friction and thus lower the heat transfer to the dissapators.

Glad to be of some help, see ya in the space-warp continuum!

You have to have the thermostat in or you must replace it with a steel disc with a 3/8 inch whole drilled in the center. You can not allow the coolant to flow throught the system that fast. If the coolant flows to quickly it does not have engough time to transfer the heat so it can be dissapated. If you do not know how a vechiles systems function you should leave well enough alone!! Your vechile may not reach proper operateing temps and will not shift properly, will get poor gas miliage and may not have any performance. I hope this is a sick joke!!!
