I am running a peak of approx 900 degrees at wide open throttle on the highway (80 mph, no load in truck, and with light load (2500# boat, which is the normal working load for the truck), it will pull on hills around the same temp.
I'm getting little to no black smoke. None at high speed with no load and little smoke when towing.
Will 1/8 - 1/6 of a turn be okay on the pump ?
Will things change when i install the timing gear set ?
If so, maybe i'll wait and do the install first. (not knowing the condition of my existing chain) I'm pulling out the rad for recore and will replace the water pump at same time.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
