Default 04 Cobra OVERHEATING!!!!

About a week ago, my stang started overheating. On saturdayI replacedthe thermostat, flushed my cooling system, used the gold coolant and purged out any air pockets. My car ran flawlessly all weekend. I drove it all over the place, pushed it to its limits, temperature did not go above the midway point at all. Then, yesterday it started overheating all over again!! Any thoughts on what I may be looking at??

do you have an after market heat exchanger? might help keep the blower a bit cooler, which in turn would keep you ait 's down a bit.

Check your fan when the car starts to get hot and see if it`s running, if not than it`s your fan. If the fan is running start looking at the water pump. Pull the belt and see if there is any play or any noise (ball bearing failure) when you spin it (by hand). Either one of these is a easy fix.
