do I need a bigger rad?
I have an 87 150 302 4spd mechanical fan. I installed a 193 ford t stat & it cools fine all winter & usually ok in the summer. On the highway it runs fine then when I get in traffic it spikes up to 210 to 220. I wonder if the rad is bad. Maybe I should get a bigger rad from a salvage yard? If so what should I look for, a 460 or diesel rad? While at the salvage yard should I look for an electric fan? If I tow with the current set up forget it it runs hot 220+ I dont see any antifreeze in the oil, & dont appear to be burning any. Any thoughts on the subject will be appreciated. Thanks Todd.
