I ususally cruise around town @ 180ish, and about the same on the highway, but yesterday I got up to about 195 on the highway, then it cooled down to 180ish again once I got off the highway.
I have 4:10's and and AOD, so I turn about 3 grand @ 75. I don't know if that would affect temps.
For those that don't know, the temp gauge is an new Sunpro. I recently had a leak that I fixed by replacing my overflow tank so the level is OK now, I just flushed and filled the system a few months ago, but will do it again, as the heat is not so good anymore.
Now, I do have a radiator that I bought for one of my mustangs about 6 years ago that I saved when they junked the car, as it was bought new.
My rad. now is a little rusty and sshiitty in places.
Does this rising at highway speeds seem more indicaitve of a rad. problem or water pump? As some of my most recent posts indicate, I have a slow leak in my water pump gasket, and am thinking about replacing the pump and the gasket anyway.
The fan clutch is also new.
Thanks guys,
J
