i bought a new-er radiator today and took it down to have tested and cleaned and got me a new thermostat,will get them in this wknd. and let u guys know thnx bb

hey cap,im no expert as u can see from all my posts,but i heard on subaru as well as mazda since i have both,that u should change the timing belts every 60,000 miles regardless of what they look like, just throwing in my 2 cents, hope this helps. bb

ok guys, yes the a/c works and the 2 fans are electric and work well.the water in the radiator is circulating well with the a/c on or off, the belts are fine and everything is turning as it should.i just had the heads redone about three months ago and new gaskets put on then.. under any load in this heat the truck never gets hot until the a/c is on?i havent replaced the thermostat yet cause i figured if it didnt get hot otherwise it was ok.but i will and ill clean the radiator but as i said a second ago,it runs fine and cool until the a/c is on..but ill try the 3 suggestions u gave me and ill let u know in a couple of daz if it help. thnx again beachbum oh and to answer an earlier question(why do i have a/c anyway) this is florida man its freaking hot here.93 today

1985 brat 1.8 runs perfect in traffic at lights runs good and cool,if i turn on my a/c it goes right up to hot the highest point?timing is dead on never loses any fluids,tranny or otherwise,fans r all working and spinning fast,i can drive it all day around town and it stays cool,but as soon as i turn on the a/c it gets hot to the point the valves will start clanging,and as soon as i shut off the a/c goes back to cool and no valve noise,i just had the heads done about three months ago,and as i said the timing is right on,fans r working. what else can i check? or what is causing this? thnx for any and all help as usual.. beachbum
