Hi, i've got an 04 model hilux and everytime the vehicle is under acceleration the temperature rises quickly, if going uphill will hit the red zone on the temp gauge, as soon as i'm over the hill and back to cruise speed it suddenly drops back to normal. Some days its fine, done a 600klm round trip to go get a boat, towed it back home with not one problem at all, but just the other day I had a bit of rubbish to unload, drove about 8klms to the tip, and it overheated and I had to pull over. Any ideas of what this problem could be? The radiator has been flushed, replaced coolant, replaced hoses, replaced radiator cap with a new genuine one, any help would be appreciated.
