UPDATE- It’s been fixed for a week-ish, but I’ve been driving it to make sure it was okay. Don’t be me and cheap out. Put the new OEM radiator and thermostat in and it fixed everything. So learn from me. Spend extra and get good stuff.
I recently replaced the radiator, AC condenser, water pump, thermostat, idler, fan blades, and fan bracket. Anywho I've noticed my temperatures are higher than they were before. Never crept over 200 only the trans did on long highway drives. Water 198ish Trans Pan- 198ish. But now I'm around 198-208 water, 198-212 trans, I'm just confused any ideas?
Add- Also thought maybe fan clutch but when I try to grab it won't let me so that makes me think it's locking up as it should.
Note- I did not buy OEM radiator or thermostat BUT I have ordered them and will put them in this weekend. Could something like those two items make that much of a difference?
