[QUOTE="01cobravortech, post: 10972717, member: 14885"] Well just caught her just before she started to overheat all the way. Temps got as high as 244F and made it back home in the nick of time. Left it running and high speed fan coming on strong. Coolant was shooting out the radiator cap. This is the 3rd time I've had an overheating episode over the past 4 years of ownership. So looks like I'll be putting in the Reische t-stat in there in the event my Stant 170 t-stat went bad. And I'll be replacing all the Ford clamps this time with screw type clamps. And I'll be replacing my old screw type clamps with new ones. I'm sure air has gotten in the system somehow. Another new cap to buy and wasting a few days burping this thing. Anyway, I know I'm being a big baby just wanted to complain about how much I hate the cooling system on these cars and there tendency to suck in air through those weak Ford clamps. I hate working on the cooling system. So anyone who does overheat out of the blue, don't lose heart as I'm sure it will happen to you again. :thumbsup: Rob [/QUOTE]
