overheating

[mendozacobra]

My cob is overheating, i put in a new oem waterpump cause the old one was shot, a new fan cause the old one took a huge dump. but my car still overheats in traffic with ac on 250 degress, but with it off, my car gets hot 220 or 230 degrees with ac off. no hoses collapsing :burn:, i got a 2.8 pulley with superchips tuner, off road x pipe, bassani cat back, accufab blade and k and n filter.

Did you try a new thermostat?

Was the cooling system burped properly after you did the WP install?

 

[mendozacobra]

Yep, brand new from ford.

Are you checking for air and re-filling at the crossover tube? Air in the system will make her run real hot.

These cars are not the easiest to get all the air out of the cooling system, i'd double check.

I heard that if you put the front of the car on jackstands and burp the system it works much better fwiw
