I usually run on or around R-M, stock fan, prestone 50/50, in the summer 95+ right now in ABQ

Does that help?

















R-M range

 

[old_blue]

I just put in a 180 thermostat and it is a-l range.stock 302 stock fan and 50/50 prestone.I think I am going to put in a 195 thermostat though. Seems to low. FOr here in Az I thought cooler was better.

I used Watter Wetter for a while until i could clearly see lots of gunk, almost will make u think u blew a head gasket by what u see in rad. as soon as i got that stuff out of my system i have never seen a trace of that gunk anymore so becareful with that stuff............even tho it did lower my temps....now i use the stuff they sell at Autozone Hy-Per Lube Super Coolant seem to work as good without the gunk

I use mostly water and a touch of water wetter, run a 195 T-stat, dual electric fans, and stay at about 190* and up to 205ish. Florida is hot. 408cubes. I still run a brass 3-core radiator as well.

 

[cenok is family]

308ci. about 50/50 anti-freeze/water...i guesstimate. she usually runs around 180ish (top of "A" in "NORMAL"). completely stock cooling system (radiator/fan/waterpump/etc.) with a 180 t-stat. just started installing a taurus fan with DC controller today though. would have finished if my girlfriend didn't whine about spending time with her on her day off . i'll let you know how well the fan/controller work tomorrow.

 

[metalman85]

351 cubes, 50/50 antifreeze/water. bottle of redline. 185 t-stat. electric fans (which i dont ever use) i can sit at a stop light on a 90* day and it wont idle over 200-205. runs at 185 all day long down the road. stock water pump, stock 5.0 radiator.

good to know! i'll keep an eye out for build up. i'll have to try the super coolant if it gets bad.

 

[SMOKEDYA]

Ok thanks guys,so i guess running 185-200* isnt bad? I usually run 190 +/- peace
