VERY dissapointed with these 2....
Ok about 2 weeks ago I installed my Black Magic Electric fan. Today I put on my Stewart water pump to help with the cooling. I took it for a ride through the city with the A/C on and it still ran hot, even got up to about 230* on the autometer gauge. It's only about 90* outside today and will get much warmer thoughout the summer. Why is this thing still running so hot? I have a 180* thermostat in it. Anybody have any ideas as to what I can do to help with teh cooling besides an aluminum radiator? Any help is appreciated. Ohh also, I thought about going back to my stock waterpump pulley. Is that even going to help any?
