Does anyone else that lives in a hot climate run this hot? Its 93* w/ 100* percent humidity. I run steady between 220 and 240 on the highway with air on or off in drive or OD. :?
All the time. I have a 180 therm and I am about to install a brand new radiator (old one has leaks). I think the best thing we can do is to install a high speed fan switch to turn on our cooling fans well before the car decides too.

don't even get me started about that!
I usually have to turn of my A/C on the way home from work while sitting in traffic and it'* 110 outside because I'm blowing past 240 and on my way to the RED.

WOW, now thats hot!!
have you ever had your cooling system serviced? i was thinking about doing it. I've never done anything other then the usual radiator flush and refill from grease
every coupla years.

OOps forgot you Gord. Yours does it all the way up in Minnesota? hmmmmm :?
the chip that i'm having custom burned for me, one of my options is to change the temp the cooling fans come on. Im excited about that if it works...

its like 60 here in the morning but i run the AC on low so i hit 195 like after 20 minutes or so.and i get stinkin cold.but i gotta make sacrifices so it doesnt get so hot.now when real winter rolls around, the heat will be on for sure. but it wont run as hot ne way.cause itll be dang cold.also i have 2 classes with computers so i get to surf the web and torment you guys even while im at school.
I am experiencing the same problem. Although it only happened after I put in the 180 degree therm. I wonder if somehow that could make the temp gauge inaccurate? Those who've put a new themostat in, do you have this problem? :?
