my 96 gt has always run hot since i bought it. then on my way home from work one morning it peged the needle all the way. i shut it off and let it cool and got it home. replaced the t-stat and found the old one broke in two pieces. i thought that was a sure fix,nope damn thing still running hot. (not pegging the needle though) fan comes on but seems a little late to me,are they hi/lo fan? im starting to get tired of messing with it. any help is appreciated.
cooling problem?

Flush the system and add a bottle of Redline Waterwetter. In the end, you probably got some air trapped in the system.

If the fan is coming on, chances are it's fine, and like said above try a flush (a chemical backflush at a place like Jiffy lube, etc, may be even better.)
My foxbody ran hotter than I liked to see, and once I got it backflushed, it always ran much cooler, right where it should be.
