That's right...It keeps over heating. I put a C&R aluminum radiator with a spal fan, I installed a 170 degree thermostat and when I drive on long stretches of road like the highway it gets hot and spews coolant out of the over flow. Now in town driving its fine but as soon as I run it on the highway it gets warm ????
Any suggestions? |

To me that only leaves 2 things. Air flow...or water pump. And if it were I, I'd check the water pump...I forgot to check for you todd on that price....I'll get back to ya.
