Subject: Re: keeping warm Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 06:37:27 As far as your temp is concerned, I wouldn't worry about it. I live in it and my 87 5.0 usually stays at or below the N no matter how hot or cold it is outside and that is with the 180` thermostat in also. Only time it's gotten higher is when I lost both the fan clutch and the water pump at the same time in the middle of a traffic jam. As far as the tranny shifting thing I can't help you there unfortunatly. I have the C-6 and I haven't noticed it ever not shifting like normal. I always warm her up in neutral on cold days for a little bit to get the fluid flowing. The 5-speed in the car is a whole nother story. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Subject: Re: keeping warm Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 17:41:46 -0500 With the engine running cooler than designed there might be some performance or economy differences. If the temperature did not get high enough to heat the cab, that would be a good indication that the thermostat was bad, but since you have some increase in temp the old "piece of cardboard in front of the radiator trick" would get your temp back into range. Don't cover the whole surface though, you want some cooling. As far as shifting in cold weather, I've not really noticed it on any of my trucks, but it wouldn't surprise me if it happened.

Subject: C-4 tranny fluid flow Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 20:29:23 -0800 Dave - I recently added a B&M Supercooler and temp gauge to my F250/E4OD. According to their info for the C4, the front line goes out to the rad cooler and returns via the rear line. They suggest the fluid should flow through the rad cooler first, then through the add-on cooler then back to the tranny...good luck...

Subject: Borg Warner T-18 Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2000 01:14:51 -0600 I'm sure it has been asked before, but does anyone have the transmission ratios for the T-18 manual transmission used in 1989 F-150's?
