The Cooling System

[Sifrino3]

Okay, here are the details. New t-stat with new manifold. Water pump does pump. Because one of the hoses on the rear of the lower manifold leaked on me when filling the cooling system. So, I can only figure it to be pumping. The radiator looks very good. Is there anything to look for, to say its not?

I have a 1700cc electric fan. That has kept it at the right temp. The fan comes on when the car starts. Most of the hoses were replaced when installing the new manifold.

What else do you need to know? Maybe there is air in the line again. Is there away special way I should fill her up? Should I raise the car when I do it. So, the radiator is more even. What?

This has been a problem and I need it fixed soon. Im tired of dealing with this. Winter is almost here and my baby is soon to be here as well. (Due Date Nov 20th) I would like to get this problem solved so, I can atleast make some passes before winter/baby.

Another Scorpio.
Gotta love em!

Sounds like your pump is heading south or you've got a blockage somewhere.

Did you do the drain/flush/drain/refill that we discussed?!?!?!

Are you trying to get away with that cheap antifreeze?!?!?!?!

Details Man, details!

 

[Sifrino3]

Drain, flush, refill.

No cheap Antifreeze.

Since you live in Arizona, I'd go with a 3 row radiator. You can get 'em at AutoZone for not much money.

Have you checked between the radiator and AC condenser for leaves and such blocking air flow?

No, I havn't havnt checked for leaves. But I should. Tell me more about the three row radiator. Whats stock on these cars? One row? Or what? You posted once before and I have seen them on Ebay before. Whats the running price?

 

[NYC LS8]

I forget what I paid for mine. Maybe 189? I'm not even sure anymore, it coulda been less than that, too. It's been about 2.5 years now. Anyways, I think the stockers are 2 row.

These are the items I got. Not taking a chance. That one of the items on my car is working. I will replace all at once. Since, winter is coming fast enough. As soon as I receive the parts I will try to get them on as fast as I can. Time Slips will come as soon as the parts go on! I promise!

Yup, that's the radiator I got. I'm sure it'll help a ton. My car hardly gets hot, even after 2.5 years with the underdrives (and now with the new motor). Good luck.

Too late since you already got it, and not that it matters too much, the 3 row will be fine........BUT, a 2 row with a fat core will cool just as good if not better than a 3 row. I have a 31'' x 19'' 2 row oneinch tubed radiator on my car. I don't have a temp gauge cause Im ghetto, lazy, and poor, but when I feel the intake, its barely warm and this is with the Cobra intake, no EGR spacer/lines....but what do I know?

 

[NYC LS8]

Your car doesn't run too hot because it doesn't run right. lol

Mine? Yeah sure. . .

What is the measurements of you dual fan?

Something like this?
15 1/2" x 26 1/4" x 2 5/8"

 

[NYC LS8]

That wasn't directed at you.

And I dunno. It's been a while.

 

[Sifrino3]

Could you please check if you get some time. I think I found one that is like yours. Just wanted to see if it was. Also, it can't be for a Mustang. Because every where I have looked. Is a single fan. The dual fans seem to always be a uni fit.
