i am more convinced than ever that it the lower hose. I took it for a long drive yesterday and it ran in the normal range for 30+ miles in normal country road driving. I then hit a two lane and took it up to 70 mph for a couple miles and then next thing I know the temp is creeping. I came to...

kraby thanks...for info. My hose is new but it feels pretty soft. I can't think of why else it only heats at hioghway speed. I'll try my local junk yard, I've already tried the auto stores. If I can't find one I may take you up on your offer.

how much temp differential should there be between the top and the bottom of the radiator? i.e. how many degrees are you typically lower the temp of the coolant as it pases throught the radiator?

btw....It is a new radiator from US Raditator out of CA. Anybody have any experience with them? I want to make sure it is not the raditor. It was supposed to be a 4 core. I bought it through Year one and paid a King's Ransom for it.

so good points there guys. It is a new motor with new cooling system. I ahve a 160 stat. had a 190 and it did the same thing. Never heard of a balance stat before. I put the new lower hose on myself.....without the spring. Where do I get one of those?

yes i am running a shroud. I am having trouble cooling at highway speed. Just put a new ,more aggressive fan on. still same problem. No clutch

How close should you fan run to your radiator? Does 1-2" sound correct?

yes on the fan shroud. Also, In re reading my post I see a typo. I wanted to say it DOES NOT ACT LIKE IT IS ENGAGING.

If I have a thermal fan clutch, approx what temp should it lock up? I get mine to 195-200 and it does act like its engaging.
