Ok I have gone through a big chunk on the forums and found some very useful info, but I still am a bit puzzled.
I have a 90 GT w/ 130K miles.
So far I have replace the T-Stat (180),
Flushed the Radiator,
and Installed an electric fan ( kit from year one 2200 CFM ).
I know for a fact that the old fan clutch was bad, and had hoped that the electric fan would solve the problem. So far no.
The problem is when I am driving. At idle it cools down and runs fine, however when I start driving, ( especially if I let the RPM's get above 2500 ) it starts to heat up. Actually it gets really hot. On more than one occasion the fluid in the overflow bottle has been boiling.
My next part looks like it is going to be a water pump but I am not convinced that is the problem. It seems like I may be loosing coolant but have found no leaks, and sometimes the radiator is full while other times it can be quite empty. My fear is a blown head gasket, but it is also possible that the radiator is bad as it is old.
HELP!!!!
Thanks in advance,
