he looks like a new guy (look at post count) so why not tell him where to post rather than being a smart ass. To the OP, post this in tech section and good luck with your issue.

what! There's another 90fox ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
The temp gauge rising with the lights on is common. Every 5.0 I see does that. I heard it's because of a bad ground but I have not clue if that's right.

Check to see if anything is blocking the front of your radiator.

Yea, if you have pets fur can do it. One time I had this issue and it was fur. My dogs were kept in the garage with the car.
Also try the other stuff mentioned.

The first thing you should do instead of throwing parts at it is hook up a pressure tester and look for leaks.

+2 there you go ![[Smile]](smile.gif) Find out what the issue is first.
The simplest thing to do is check the fluid level in the radiator and check for leaks if it is low.
