    Help! Overheating on a Road Trip :/

    Interestingly, once the ambient temps went under 95 our car did just fine going 75mph. We are going to attempt a 170 SPD thermostat to see if that makes a difference and possibly upgrade the radiator. It seems like an efficiency of the system issue. Probably going to replace parts as much as we...

    Help! Overheating on a Road Trip :/

    This could very well be it. Now that the sun has set, our temps are doing much better and we are back to being able to go 75mph. Transmission staying at 208-210 with coolant sometime spiking to 232 on a hill. Whereas during the day in the heat we could barely climb a slight grade at 61mph...

    Help! Overheating on a Road Trip :/

    Thanks! I am also surprised am not above trying another thermostat on the chance the replacement we got was no good.

The AZ water pump says it’s 53 gallons per minute vs the OEM 55 gal {apparently this is from an older ford forum so not sure if this still applies}so although we now have a...

    Help! Overheating on a Road Trip :/

    Thank you. We thought we had it fixed with a new water pump, however the only one we could get on the weekend was an autozone one. The original water pump had deteriorated seals on the gasket however this autozone one doesn’t have the same capacity as the OEM so we are experiencing little...

    Help! Overheating on a Road Trip :/

    We’ve read through other threads here but need help for our specific issue. We bought our max 4x2 3 months ago with 96k miles. Recently noticed the AC would randomly blow warm air for short periods of time maybe three different times but didn’t think to look at the coolant/trans temp gauge...
