Re: Cooling at an idle
What temp gauge? If stock these are notoriously inaccurate, even the after market ones are iffy. Did the clutch fan lock up? If not you were probably not very hot, or it’s not operating properly. Best to get as ir heat gun and start taking readings, see if your really getting hot. My factory gauge barely gets to 1/4, my SW gauge reads 230, ir gun says 190 at the hottest points on block, intake, radiator, hoses, even on 100+ days with AC on. My clutch fan rarely locks up but when it does it cools fast.
