Followup to my previous thread about my 2006 running hot.
Everything has been replaced with OEM Ford components listed below:
-Degas and cap
-Radiator
-Water pump
-coolant pipes to heads and to the block
-gaskets for pipes mentioned above
-all hoses, rubber and plastic that carry coolant
-thermostat and housing/cap
-New yellow coolant
-Purged air out of the system per the LVC guide multiple times... to a tee
Spent a pretty ridiculous amount of money on this and I'm ready to just call it quits. What else could it be? Head gasket? cracked head?
Car seems to run fine and always pulls hard and never has any other issues. In stop and go traffic, the coolant hangs around 226-236+.... but by the time it hits 230 I crank the heater and it brings it down. Never any temps above 220 on the freeway, even with A/C on. No oil in the coolant or vice versa. no engine shutter either from what I can tell.
This is my DD so I am ripping my hair out.
