overheating 7.5 Efi
My 95 e350 7.5 gas cutaway has been overheating and thought I get some advice here. When it sits at idle it wouldn't overheat but when you drive it for 30 minutes or so till it warms up, the coolant gauge shows it creeping to hot and once it does get too hot, coolant would boil out of the rad cap.
So far, I've changed the thermostat, waterpump, and belts. Any other idea? I heard someone said something online about the fan clutch being bad but it looks like this van does have a fan clutch but it's not electronic and belt driven? but I could wrong because the fan is spinning once I start up the car.

When it overheats, are you in town or on the highway? In town, slow speed should be the worst, at speed on the highway, the fan isn't needed much. jim

Had very similar problems with our 1993 E150 and the radiator was clogged up and bottom fell off when it was unbolted

I haven't seen this on vans too much but another thing to check is crap getting stuck between the AC condenser and the radiator.
I've see potato chip bags, paper cups, leaves etc. stuck in there.
I also believe in checking the simple stuff first.
