I have a 1994 stang has only a couple of simple mods like exhaust and stuff but still can't figure out why it runs hot I installed a new 180* t stat today and still didn't work any help would be nice.

 

my 95 started running hot after my first few bolt-ons. replaced the thermastat with a 180 as well as replaced several sensors. still ran hot. i finally bit the bullet and bought a fluidyne radiator. hasn't run hot since. some of the best money i've ever spent on the stang.

 

Yea. I am doing the same.........My 95 has few mods and runs on the "L" on the "NORMAL" sometimes..............only way to beat that is to get a bigger radiator............

Steele901, where did you get yours and how much? Seems like everytime I look I get "up to 93" only..............

 

^ same here but i bought a stock replacement from autozone.

check to see if your fans turn on

 

I did an its running........................I thought about changing it but I think the radiator is the way to go.

 

You don't really need a fluidyne radiator in an SN95, unless you have major mods. we have aluminum radiators stock and electrric fans. just check your thermostat check your waterpump.

 

T stat is good.........I changed it a month ago.

Now correct me if I am wrong but a water pump has gone bad when its broken! Right? The system is pretty simple............an impellar, a housing with bearings. The water pumps I have come across that were bad had bearings that were shot and you could see the bearing shaft torque and hear it make noise when it was bad..............

Mine is probably the stock one but not sure.....................I will change it tomorrow if thats the problem but I am not sure?

 

yeah it will start to leak

 

yes, the waterpump has a wheap hole where it begins to leak when it goes out. i replaced that too. didn't really run any cool but still needed to be replaced. i bought mine at a local mustan shop called bb&t racing outside of memphis. it was around $360-70 i think. i know it was a little cheaper than other places online i checked.

check ebay. thats where i was gonna get mine until i found it locally. i remember a company on there that had a pretty good deal

 

How do you like the 180 tstat i was just about to order it..... And what mods do you have done to be making that power???
