Ok guys...I had problems last year running at myrtle beach during the summer sitting on the strip at night with cooling b/c it was so hot outside and just sitting in traffic. Well this year I thought I'd flush my coolant and replace it with new and add Water WETTER by REDLINE. Everything was running nicely with the temp reading between the N and the O in "NORMAL" on the guage. After I got out of traffic on the strip this year it was fine....UNTIL I nailed it and the guage read somewhere between the A and L in "NORMAL". It was instantanous. I turned on the heat and drove home so I wouldn't over heat. Got home and started trouble shooting....1) Should I Burp the cooling pluming make sure it wasn't a steam vapor (Air Pocket) or should I do something else that I dont know about. The fan works but I dont know if its coming on soon enough???... IDK i just need help to get my stang running good and cool.

Bryan, the 1st thing that is definitely NEEDED is a good water temp. gauge .... so you know what you're running at. The stocker sucks.

Burping the system may help also. As far as the fan, you should hook up a manual fan switch. This way, YOU control when the fan comes on. It's a very quick & easy mod that you WILL NOT REGRET. Here's a "how-to": http://www.allfordmustangs.com//Detailed/499.shtml

Good luck bro.



BTW, are you going to Mustang Week?

I would venture to say the water wetter may not be doing such a great job. Do a search on Bobistheoilguy.com and see what you find on Water Wetter.....

I'm with Justin on the gauge thing. I dont remember what the stocker looks like, but it sounds like it got too hot in an impossibly short amount of time.

The fan switches Justin mentioned are great, or if you have some spare cash, get a variable fan controller (a la www.DcControl.com ) and be done with it. Not that this is the cause - just good things to do.

Good luck.
