heat problem
Seems like since I installed my underdrive pullies my 5.0 runs hotter than I like it. Like today it was 25 degrees outside it was running at about 200 degrees. I would prefer if it would stay around the 180- 185 mark . the rad is a 3 core not the single core it use to be . And everything has approx 1700 km on it. Now I have 3 options that I can think of .
1- just change the water pump pulley and hope it works
2 -I have a tarus electric fan the I have adapted into a stock fan shroud
I also have a dual I think 10 inch fan set up .
If I was going to use the electric I would just wire them up to a heavy duty rocker from the negative side .
what is everyones thoughts on this

My Buddy had problems with his 5.0 doing the same thing and we were actually talking about this today. You might want to try a lower thermostat. He was running a 180 and dropped it to I think 150, and he has had no problems. Hope this helps you.

you may not want my opionion but im giving it anyway.
my 89 was a bitch to get all the air out. We finally had to park it on a hill with the front end up, bringing the rad cap to the highest point of the cooling system so the air gets out easier.
