89 k1500 gets warm only on the highway
On the way to work downhill to work about 15 minute drive 65 mph never gets over 195 it’s only once I hit a steeper hill it seems then once it flattens out it’s fine, I don’t believe there is anything wrong with the guage, the water pump is completely rusted on the outside, I might replace that...- Nopainnogain445

Forgot to mention I put a new rad cap on there, I also had tested my new thermostat and the old one, the new one opened up significantly sooner than the old one and seemed to open up more so I think it’s good- Nopainnogain445

89 k1500 gets warm only on the highway
So I have a 1989 gmc k1500 and for the last couple weeks I’ve noticed my temp guage slowly creeps up once I get on the highway doing about 60-65mph to about the 230 mark and one I slow back down to 30-40mph the temp drops back to normal, I replaced the thermostat and water pump was replaced a...- Nopainnogain445
