Hello,
I'm still working on my cooling system problems. Basically it runs hot and spits coolant.
Issue 1:
The car runs hot at idle and low speeds, but as soon as I get it on the highway with "major air" moving through the front it runs a lot cooler, in fact it seems to sit below the half mark. That's not bad. I do have a 1 1/2 inch fan shroud at home that I am planning on putting on but I really can't see it changing things that much.
Issue 2:
When I run the engine kinda hard the 13# rad cap doesn't hold the coolant. I put a 16# on and that helps but I almost need an 18# if they make one.
Do these sound like average cooling system problems? Do they sound related? I have a fairly "newly used" 3 row radiator.
Thanks, Greg.
