Hello,
Let me start by saying that I am new to the domestic car scene and this is my first fox body mustang. I purchased the car in the winter time and drove it around town without any overheating issues. As the weather got hotter so did the car. I've decided to change the following.
1. New Aluminum 3 row radiator
2. New Aluminum shroud and two electric fans
3. New darhle electric fan controller.
4. New 180 thromostat and water neck
5. New upper and lower radiator hoses
6. New water pump hoses
After all this I burped the systems and the car is still running hot, around 230 degrees. Fans kick on around 200 degrees but do not help. The radiator is boiling over and spilling into the catch can.
The only thing I haven't changes is the water pump, no signs of any water leaking from the holes or waterpump. I've crawed under the car and checked.
Could the waterpump be failing? I ordered an new GMB water pump that flows more then the stock one. Has anyone experienced this before?
