I have a new two core radiator, water pump, 160 thermostat and it still overheats. Hoses are good. The only hoses I havent changed are the heater hoses. I'm wondering if the 2 core is a wimpy radiator. Would a seven blade fan improve cooling significantly? Timing is about 10 degrees. What about backing off to like 5? Wouldn't I lose all power? |

How do you know it's over heating? What kind of car, year? More information would be helpful. cfield@ll.net |

I've run in to some of these Chrysler Corp vehicles that the "overheating" problem turned out to be a burnt out voltage regulator that runs the gauges. Replaced the regulater and all was well. cfield@ll.net |
