I have been battling overheating.
I have replaced the thermostat. Water pump. Fan clutch. Belt. Radiator (new aluminum mishomoto). Temp sensor and temp sending sensor.
After this last round of maintenance in which the pump, fan clutch, and sensors were all replaced at once I took it for a drive. When it was idling in the garage it was at normal temp, right in the middle. I turned it off and cleaned up.
2 hours later I started it up and drove it and the temp guage spent most of its time BELOW the first hash mark. It was almost as if the temp guage thought the engine wasn't even on half the time! Everything ran normal, upper rad hose was hot, and the needle did move slightly but it stayed very low the entire time. Below is a pic of me driving on the highway.
