Bronco Temp Problems

[bdrake1]

I Have A New 190 Themromastat And Clean Radtator And Still It Run Ss To 220-230 What To Do

From what little you told us about you problem it is hard to tell. My guess would be air trapped in the cooling system.

With the truck cool, take of the radiator cap, and start the truck up. Let it run untill it comes up to temp, and see if it burps any air out of it.

Put a shroud on mine and lowered my rad.because i had skipped that during the body lift, now it runs at .180 all the time

Shroud and get a mechanical guage to at least check against the stock guage. There's always the possibilty of the thermostat being bad.

Ignition timing can have a huge effect on temps.

Get a shroud...a metal one...see pic of melted JBG shroud after sustained 230 degree temps. THEY TOOK CARE OF IT NO QUESTIONS ASKED...I was running hard.

Most guys, correct me if I'm wrong, run close to 200F.

Flex fans do wear out over time.

Electric fans are a bitch to mount unless you do hood latch mods etc. but most say it was worth it.

Ducting/sealing/routing airflow pays off big time if you are a slow speed wheeler in hotter climates.

If all else fails, run an oil cooler with fan or move to a cooler climate.

Best of luck,
