Cooling issues

[Andres2882]

Hey all,

Car was running fine, temperature holding steady at the bar under the mid level on the stock temp tach. Anyway, did some very aggressive driving that lead to a little 180* action and now my temp tach is running a full bar higher constantly (at mid lvl). I run a big 3 core aluminum rad with 2 high flow fans. Fans working fine, going to check connections tomorrow to make sure they running at full power, but what else could have gone wrong? Could the therm have ******* up? What could be messed up?

first thing i would do is toss a real gauge on there to know what is really going on.

if you dont, at least remove the sender wire on the temp sender and clean it and reinstall it.

high revs can damage the wax pellet on the t-stat. it would not be my first choice of a guess, but it can happen (and a real gauge can help with diagnostics).

good luck.
