Lately my car has been over heating the funny thing is it used to run to cool but as soon as I installed under drive pullies on it The temp went up. It only stays cool if im constantly moving and soon as I stop it just starts slowing climbing. I checked the coolant level thats fine and i also changed the thermosat about six months ago, maybe its the fan clutch?<br /> <br /> <small>[ August 24, 2007, 06:16 PM: Message edited by: rjl50believer ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>CLEEN 50</b> <br /><small>Member # 5867</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,7,24,18,29,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> May be the fan clutch, but is normal for the temp to go up a little but nothing to extreme. Check if your radiator's is in good shape and install 180* Themostat. I've heard alot of stories of temps going up after pullies installs. Some people leave the stock water pump and crank pully in. I beleive that this mod exposes the weak points in our high mileage cooling systems. I run pullies on one of my cars and have a good clean -unclogged radiator, and 180* thermostat. My temp needle never comes close to venturing above the half way mark. Make sure all yor cooling components are in good working order. <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ August 24, 2007, 06:29 PM: Message edited by: CLEEN 50 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>rjl50believer</b> <br /><small>Member # 5598</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,7,24,20,16,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> it goes from about 1/2 way to 3/4 in a 2 min period when im at a light on a hot day the only time i dont have a problem is on the freeway lol. I just put a new radiator in it about 6 months ago when i did the thermostat. But ill try changing the thermostat to 180 and having the system flushed. thanks for the help<br /> <br /> <small>[ August 24, 2007, 08:17 PM: Message edited by: rjl50believer ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>CLEEN 50</b> <br /><small>Member # 5867</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,7,24,20,43,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Check ur water pump too <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>tjnsr</b> <br /><small>Member # 7568</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,7,26,0,23,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Don't the underdrive pulleys turn both the fan and water pump slower?
