Hey Dean,
I lost a water pump on one of the club rides out to the coast, (good thing I
carry water with me). I had no idea I had a problem until it just let go. I
put in a new pump, and even left the old thermostat in. Now I can't get my
TR to get hot. You might want check the pump, or do a radiator flush.
