Hey all,
Haven’t overheated yet but noticed the Bronco has been running pretty hot.
Its gets to 210 pretty fast and the fan kicks on and does its job. But i feel like the fan is constantly on after that point. Usually never breaks the 210 range. Tstat is new 195* from WH. Fan pulls a ton of air, it shouldn't be the problem.
Thinking of replacing a few things:
Radiator- steams a bit when hot, from filler neck area and from opposite side. Any suggestions that wont break the bank but will drop in the same mounts?
Will need trans cooler.
Water pump- Mainly because Ill be in there already and I’m not sure its working well.
Hoses- Can anyone point to a good hose kit that works for my setup? Previous owner spliced the lower hose together instead of finding the correct one. Engine is a 5.0 from ‘87 IIRC
