just a thought here, i think i may have the remedy for my 96 250T overheating,
where oh where is the thermistat located on a 250T???????..........i think
maybe it has jambed shut during its full week and a half of being empty of
water, i suspect some sort of corrosion.

But never the less, i have no idea as to its location, so again, where oh
where is the thermistat located on a 250T???????????

Any help please, andy

Should be in the housing were the bottom hose connects to the engine.
Looking at your other posts, you still have an air pocket causing th
overheating condition. No heat from the heater is the classic symptom o
this. No heat because no circulation. No circulation because the pum
can only move water. Air doesn't cut it

yes well im thinking the lack of thermistat movement is aiding this air
pocket, any bright ideas in regard to removing the air from this motor???,
cheers

Drain the coolant, park or jack-stand the vehicle nose-up so the radiator
fill cap is the highest point of the cooling system. Slowly fill with
coolant, start engine with heat on high and as the level of coolant drops in
the rad tank continue to fill with coolant. After a minute or so the
coolant will level off. Cap and drive around to see what happens.
Let cool and serve, er, I mean check the level again and top off if needed.

Good, succinct post.

A '96 could also have a bad rad cap I suppose. If the OP changes the
t'stat - I'd suggest purchasing a new rad cap as well.
