yep, you guessed it, the old 92 started overheating again waiting in line at Costco for gas. Had to switch the A/C off, the electric fan on, and step on the gas to over 1500 RPMs. Thought I had it licked finally, but its been a mild summer...
Mod'd fan clutch: check
complete cooling system overhual: check
top-end rebuilt: check
Only thing is the thermostat is not OEM, and I have an OEM radiator (been removed and fully flushed/inspected). Heard something about putting a fancy diesel rad in a 3FE so maybe I'll try that next. Open to suggestions.
the FC does not roar like an airplane (green hub) with heavy weight fluid in it despite what the crowd says but it is better. main symptom is stuttering like its low on water. It did drink about 12oz of water between costco and sportsmans warehouse (Ammo was no prob since my address matches btw, CA guys). Also, for some reason the interior fan/AC stays on when the ignition is shut off until the door is opened, a totlaly separate issue but i just noticed this recently when its really hot outside, and just now when temp creeped up.
