OK, what a night. Someone has to have had a similar problem on the G1000 getting hot. 1st gear at about mid throttle, not working hard, it gets close to the red. It had the thermostats out, but I replaced them- spit water out and got into red. took forever to cool. Took thermostats out- almost the same result. Put a 13# cap on in place of the 9# one and now water stays in and it stays out of the red but it takes about 15 minutes to cool. The water pump is new, but feeling around on motor seems to draw me to a water pump issue. It just does not seem like it's circulating. No, there are not gasket issues. When buying the water pump, I replaced it with the same style, but what I read said I could have gotten the one for the G705 or GVI. Those look like a smaller diameter impeller, but is there some sort of difference there that matters- like I said, feeling around on stuff seems to get me right to the pump. It's a 66 wheatland if that makes a difference.
