hey guys i need some help. i have an 01' supercrew with a magnuson supercharger on my triton 5.4 turning about 4-5 lbs of boost. heres the problem... my truck is overheating at idle on really hot days and when im riding around town. as long as im on the road doing over 40 or 50 i never have this problem. i installed a high performance radiator and heat exchanger (lighting upgrades from lightning force performance) at the end of last summer and im still having problems. last week i put a 160 degree thermostat and i think its makin things worse. i just got off the phone with a guy from magnuson and he thinks i need to get my engine dynoed and retuned cuz he thinks i may be running too lean.. im hoping some of you experienced guys can kinda point me in the right direction. id hate to burn this thing up or blow a head gasket. i really need to cool this puppy down. i want this thing to idle all damn day with the ac on high and not have any trouble with overheating. help me out please. thanks
