: overheating problem is still here, 180* stat, 3 row radiator, just been redone, timing as high as I can go with no pinging and it runs cooler, but still hits 230* running about 75-80mph @ 2000rpms.
: what temp does everyone run on the interstate and what temp does the stock idiot light come on at?
dont know what to tell you on the problem, I run about 180-185* on the highway going 60 (+ or -) at 3000rpm. the stock idiot light may have a bad sending unit, or? I assume you have a gauge on it, as you wouldnt have a temp otherwise.what kind of shape is your waterpump in?and has everything else been flushed out and gone thru?
