svt raptor engine over heating

[red gt500]

hay ..
i am a new member in the 2011 raptor ..and i was pleased with the off road performance
but was really surprised with the engine over heating when i am off road ..in our country we have a 100-90 F so its pretty hot

is there any solution for my problem ?

thanks

I've beaten on my Raptor on 100+ degree days and no overheating. I doubt yours did. Any pics showing you own a Raptor and / or it overheating?

What did it do to make you think it was over-heating? If it was in fact getting too hot it's likely due to an obstruction blocking air flow to the radiator.

are you sure you weren't looking at the trans. temp gauge?

i am sure it was the engine temp ..and it hapind only when i started to claiming a hill and i was Redlining the engine to go to the top off the hell for 20 seconds

and on the LCD screen it shows( the ecu starts to lower the power due to engine over heating)

and the trans temp 200-210 f

Solution: Don't redline the engine for 20 seconds at a time in 100* heat.


Problem solved. Don't think any engine would stand up to that without the coolant temps skyrocketing. Minimal airflow + high RPM's = overheating everytime.

the solution is :a big aftermarket radiator and a thormostat ..but the problem is i dont know where to buy it:shrug:..

Solution is sell the truck to someone with an i.q. over 15 and then GTFO.
