Running Warm Problem Solved
It took almost 2 weeks and a crap load of new parts, but I finally got it fixed. I replaced the water pump, thermostat, fan clutch, and both radiator hoses on my '89 F150 300 inline 6, but still it ran warm. I remembered that I had put some stop leak in the radiator back in Feb. of this year. Replaced the radiator, no problem. Moral of the story: stop leak causes more problems than it fixes.

You guys do know that, most manufacturers now include stopleak in new cars/trucks?
If you were using stop leak, you must of had a problem? I'd bet your radiator was shot before you dumped the stopleak in. I wouldnt blame the stopleak.
