Well everything has been changed except the fan and water pump. It has new rad & cap, and had a flush done, and new thermostat. I'm thinking it must be either the fan is not functioning correctly, or the water pump is weak. If anybody has any other suggestions, pls let me know, this is getting frustrating!!!

Ya the rad cap is often the problem, but mine used to run hot as well then I switched the cap and thermostat and it was fine

otherwise you might have a small pressure leak somewhere causing it to run a bit warm

OK I got it fixed! Had a rad flush, and another new thermostat, seems the last thermostat was possibly faulty. It's all good now! Thanks for all the help guys.

I've purchased bad thermostats as well, it seems like they have no quality control with those things, lol

You will never have a problem as long as you go to your nearest Ford dealership and buy a OEM Thermostat!

OEM parts are the best for factory replacements.

does ford still carry them, every time I go there for a part they stare at me blankly like they can't comprehend that there were gasoline powered automobiles in 1994
