Re: New 4 row Radiator, New Fan, New Water Pump and Stat - still running hot!
I had heating issues as well, new rad, all new hoses, new t-stat, flushed the system, had a shroud and all and still overheated, come to find out the clutch fan was not working so there was no air being pulled through when idling, I took the clutch fan off and drilled and put bolts through it to make it a direct drive, it hit 111 degrees here yesterday and it stayed right on the mark, did not run hot, that baby is pulling air now, will blow the tags on the radiator hoses now, best of luck
