[QUOTE="01cobravortech, post: 11259500, member: 14885"] In all your dealings with these mustang shops and troubleshooting on your own has your coolant been tested for combustion chamber gases to eliminate the possibility of a head gasket related problem? Also are you running the oem plastic radiator expansion tank? If so, once ruling out a head gasket matter and insuring that the car is properly burped, you'd have to consider replacing that tank. Many times when the car overheats the opening of the tank deforms slightly. It may not detected by the naked eye but you'll have repeated sealing problems regardless of how many new radiator caps you put on there. The failure of these tanks and how expensive they are is the primary reason I opted to go with an aftermarket tank like the one Moroso makes. And I would certainly expect to see some coolant pushing through the oem tank while OT the car because you consistently high temps. In many cases you are pushing temps above 240F for some sustained periods of time. That coolant is going to expand some. [/QUOTE]
