    New cooling system, still overheating.

    Will do. But the motor was only shut off for less than a minute before I got these readings. Also, I had already been driving for about 45 mins in stop-n-go city traffic (ambient temp yesterday was about 90 or 95) so I'm sure it was more than warmed up. I will try my wife's car when she gets...

    New cooling system, still overheating.

    I've ran the belts this way for years. Old ratty radiator, no problem. Then the fins on that finally goes out and I get an aluminum radiator and 8 months later, problems.

    New cooling system, still overheating.

    I had no problems before it overheated in traffic that first time. I think that did me in. I don't see rust in the passages now. No more brown water. Everything is clear and it still runs hot (albeit it takes a few more mins for it to overheat now).

    Why would I lie about getting stuck on the side of the road a few times with my top radiator hose hissing like a tea kettle and my engine making crunchy metal sounds? Everything is new and replaced within the last 9 days: fan clutch then thermostat then radiator, radiator cap, water pump...

    New cooling system, still overheating.

    So, I had my engine rebuilt in Jan 2012. Put about 15 - 20 thou on it. June 2013 it iverheated because the radiator went bad so I put in a 26 inch 3 row Champion. Then a few weeks ago I started seeing rust in the coolant. Then full on blockage as top tube could not push coolant into rad. So, buy...
