**overheating problems**

[xYoung347x]

I have a Summit radiator, a manual fan switch, 192 tstat, and a fairly new waterpump and still sometime it over heats. It kinda over heats when Im driving for more than 15 minutes or when I get on it than it starts to raise. Can someone take a shot on whats wrong with it?

I lost the small plastic flap under the car that helps direct air to the radiator once and it caused my temps to go up. Replaced it and the temps returned to where they were.

I have seen some say that they saw no difference with or without it but for me, not having it made for higher temps.

Try burping your radiator and squeezing the air out of the hoses. You may just have air in your system.

On my car there are two of those push on or push in plastic locking things that Ford likes to use to secure things on the right and two of them on the left side of the flap.
The side of the flap with them is mounted to the rear of the car.

Interesting, couple of months ago that piece fell off my car when I pulled too close to a curb. That is about the time that my overheating problems started.

I know what I am doing tonight
