The factory thermostat is actually 192 degrees. I found that out a the parts store. I went with a 180 degree thermostat, which is what it had in it in the first place, until further notice. Here is what I have done so far to solve the cooling problem...
1. I added an Aluminum High Volume Water Pump.
2. I replaced the clutch on the fan. (Thank you guys for recommending that I check that. It was shot to hell, and needed replacing)
3. I used a cooling system additive, basically water wetter.
My car is behaving a better in town, but oddly enough my car sits a temperature a few degrees higher than it did before the mods while on the highway. Appx. 195-200 degree average while on the highway, which is fine, but I thought I'd see a drop, not a raise. I just received my fan shroud in the mail yesterday, and I plan to install it later today if time permits. I'm hoping that this will be the end of this heat issue. I'll keep you guys posted.
