1990 GT Mustang....pretty low mileage. Running pretty hot a little over halfway on the stock temp guage.
Replaced the stock t-stat with another 195 degree stat and now running a bottle of watter wetter and straight water. It has the stock clutch fan and water pump I believe, and its still running a line above halfway on the stock temp guage. We installed the t-stat right and we also have already burped the radiator which is also stock and it also has the stock pullies. [Confused] [Confused] [Confused]

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

bad clutch on the fan? slipping too early?

otherwise check for water coming out the weep hole of the water pump, and check the condition of your radiator. got anything blocking airflow to the radiator in the front?
