Starting a new thread, although I did post over here:http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=509987
Engine just overheated. Did not involve a 5-6th gear pull or burnouts or any other hard driving.
I was driving on the highway w/ AC on, accelerating from a stop at a highway traffic light, and when I went into third gear under normal acceleration (1/2-3/4 throttle), the car fell on its face (im like WTF?), I continue on and then I notice steam rising from under the hood. I pull over; coolant spraying everywhere underhood. Cooled down, rolled home in 2nd, no unusual noise coming from underhood. I was thinking blown thermostat - i.e. never opened.
As an aside, I have been having a problem w/ my wiper relay/fuses, wipers will not work on delay mode, but will work in low and high. Perhaps my water pump shorted out?
Any other likely candidates?
My mods are in the sig - 2.8 upper; aftermarket HE, head cooling mod is not yet installed (but I have it).
