Can anyone help with the cooling issues I am having?! I have replaced just about everything I can think of minus the heater core. But I got a new water pump, Thermostat, hoses , and went to the 79-82 radiator, because I read on here that the short 3 row, had better cooling capacity. I have an efan that moves 2800cfm, but as Im driving, thatg shouldnt make a difference. It only does it when Im driving, if I stop, it runs normal.
Running out of time, Help Please.

BAD Thermostat? Or, did you replace it after you had the overheating issues?

I never ran it hot! it did get to 3/4 mark and I shuter down. Will try the higher pressure cap aswell.
Carlos, I am in Va. so I appreciate the use of the tester but LOL its a lil far away right now. Going to seriously Flush the system today, maybe Ive got blockage, or bubbles that wont come out. Either way, will let you know whats up.

I can drive it under normal conditions, but If i getr on it at all, is when it will raise, then go down when I calm down

JonathanGTU- glad to see you have returned from the dead. why did you not come to visit with us the last time we spoke over the forum. i would like to put this to rest for the last time. i think you should come have some beers and tell more lies and have a good time my friend. we would love to hear all of your stories of all the people you know, and how awsumely fast the motors you build are. holla back and let us know when you are gonna be in town... late

just in case i will include this in spanish, the best it can be translated..lol

-JonathanGTU alegra ver que han regresado de entre los muertos. ¿por qué no vienen a visitar con nosotros la última vez que habló en el foro. Me gustaría poner a este descanso para la última vez. Creo que debería haber unas cervezas y decir más mentiras y que tengan un buen tiempo mi amigo. nos encantaría escuchar todas sus historias de la gente que sabe, y cómo awsumely rápido que construir los motores son. holla de nuevo y vamos a saber cuando van a estar en el pueblo ... tarde
