Boiling noise after hill climb.

[benjicon]

Hi guys,

Took the truck out for a spin today, on some logging roads around Squamish BC. Couple of step sections, climbing constantly for about 30 mins, stopped to check the view, when I turned the engine off I could hear a boiling noise coming from the radiator. The temp gauge was always in the normal temp range, (half way between hot and cold slightly favouring cold) No burning smells, no leaks. When I got home after the 80km trip back, there was no boiling, it only seemed to happen when under heavy load.

Is that normal? What action should I take from here on in?

Cheers, Ben.

crazy, I never thought altitude would change the boiling point for the radiator
