[QUOTE="mineralgrey01gt, post: 15321082, member: 49854"] Sitting still it runs 185-190, running down the road itll hold steady at 200 or so. If I let it sit for 5-10 minutes after I turn the car and start it again the temp will not pull back down on it and would hold steady at 215-220 The fan is on a switch in the car as I could not find a wiring harness diagram for the car. I would use the OEM fan but the radiator I have is about twice as thick as my OEM one and the OEM fan will not fit with the hellion turbo kit with this radiator. The one time it really over heated and started coming out the cap it got up to 230-235. That only happened once. The thermostat I have is a 180* but I will look into the brand you mentioned. I just have a cheap duralast one to see if it would help any. Now let me ask this... The car is starving for fuel on one side of the car, didnt realize it till last week and I only drove it on the road once after putting it back together. Could that cause some kind of cooling problem as well? Its getting fixed tomorrow as soon as the pump comes in. Could running bad like that cause extra heat? Do yall think I should get rid of the aftermarket aluminum radiator I have and get another OEM one and put the OEM fan back on? I was told this set up I have should keep it cooler [/QUOTE]
