how to run cooler???
My motor has been runing hot ever since I bought her. I wanna try and fix this problem but I dont know where to start.
I am currently running a Powerdyne supercharger, heads, cams, intake manifold, CAI, longtubes, o/r h-pipe and an aftermarket radiator. I also have an electric fan. What can I do to make her run cooler? |

does she constantly run hot? or does it get hotter when idling at a light?
If she constantly runs hot, could be the thermostat, could be the waterpump starting to give out, or maybe the radiator needs a flush. if she only runs hot at stoplights, could still be radiator that needs flushing if it is only somewhat blockedup, cause the fan isnt enough to keep the radiator cool. OR, it could be the electric fan is no longer working which will cause it to run real hot at idle after it warms up. ive been going though this with my honda. I think i know what the problem is, but it has given me an excuse to drive the stang a lot more. lol |
I know he just ordered a new t-stat.
(Just my $.02) |
intercool your setup. If its running hot already, that supercharger is going to cause problems down the road.
|
Anyone know how to install a t-stat?
|
pull the upper rad hose, take the 2 bolts out of the housing... clean and reseal the gasket mating surface.
|
Like what was said above, you could also add a bottle of water wetter to when u do the flush.
