[QUOTE="Serfma, post: 16602052, member: 196123"] Hi! 96 Cobra, running up to 210F hwy speeds and going around town. Fan kicks on at 208f and temps drop but not far enough to turn fan off at 198F shut off point. Fan is on even during hwy speeds and not sure if it's supposed to kick off. I've got a 185F thermostat, mishimoto radiator, and a Lincoln Mark VIII cooling fan hooked up to the ECU fan wires. Replaced cooling fans too. Did burping procedure even. My questions are: 1. Is my fan supposed to turn off during highway speeds? 2. If my thermostat is 185F, shouldn't my temps be around that or lower than 210? 3. Do all Cobras that are stock besides cooling upgrades run like this normally? Get up to 208, fans kick on, temps drop down to around 200 until fan kicks off (or sometimes doesn't) then raise back to 208-210 and repeats regardless if I'm idle / low loads. I do not have the lower air dam, side air dams before the radiator, I have no condenser, and no radiator cover that sits on top of core support. Getting them added soon to test. I'm not sure if the temps I'm seeing are normal or if I should be lower than the low fan kick on temps (208F) even running at idle / low load. When my fan kicks on, it's at full speed which worries me that it isn't enough to cool it down enough. I'm just curious the technical aspects of the cooling system in the Cobra. Thanks in advance!
