Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2000 15:17:17 -0700 Joel, I'm no expert but living in the desert makes me think about preventing overheating on a regular basis. Since you've got an 84 maybe you need to flush the radiator (or even have it rodded out). I assume that your coolant is new(er) and the radiator is full. Have you changed your T-Stat? Perhaps you need a new fan clutch? From what I read the fan should "roar" when the engine gets hot enough to cause the clutch to engage. For what is worth, my 96 302/auto tends to run cooler in stop and go than it does going down the highway at 70 mph in 100+ degrees with the AC going. Also, many people swear by the electric fan conversion. You can move a lot more air past the radiator stopped at an idle with an electric fan than you can with the mechanical. Hope you get it sorted out. Tom (in Phoenix) P.S. As a side note. Wayne is right. The new antifreeze is "safer" than the ethylene glycol variety but it is NOT safe for consumption. ------------------------------ From: "Garrett Nelson" Subject: Re: Air Conditioning problem Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2000 17:31:56 -0500 I would suggest having the cooling system flushed and installing a good high flow electric fan that includes an A/C relay. --Garrett www.1966ford.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Joel Thomas To: Ford truck ; Ford Performance Sent: Monday, June 05, 2000 4:38 PM Subject: [perf-list] Air Conditioning problem recently driving around town I have switched on my air condtioning and the trucks temperature slowly rises to the H were it normally sits on the middle of normal(1984 F-150,351W,T-18)the truck was originally shod with airconditiong so it has the super cool fan and clutch and it did not do this last year, it has a 180 thermostat, on the highway it will heat up a little but still be okay because the airflow?? any ideas? here in arkansas we are only around 90degrees and i want to be able to run air at 105 degrees but i know that will be hard in stop and go traffic not looking for miracles just advice??

The dealer can not take it till next week so I would like to check to make sure that my driving to work everyday is not going to damage anything. Is there anyway of reading the codes via the light, I do not have a tester. ------------------------------ End of perf-list Digest V2000 #75 ********************************* ---------------------------------------------------------- Ford Truck Enthusiasts Performance, Hot-Rod and Custom Truck List Send posts to perf-list ford-trucks.com If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing |
