[QUOTE="ashleyroachclip, post: 15370707, member: 51495"] I have cound , a lower temp. thermostate does not make the engine run cooler. The longer the coolant stayes in the radiator, the better it disapates the heat . If the coolant flows too fast, less oportunity for the airflow to cool it. If you are using a mechanical temperature gauge, not tbe factory , i would get another one , to check the acuracy. As you stated, the fans are for slow speed driving, traffic and such. If you have temps, creeping on the highway , i believe you do have an airflow problem. The factory flap, under the car is important in cooling, often missing . The foam is part of the factory design, to ensure airflow is directed thru tbe radiator, not around it . Make sure there is a good seal from the core support , to the radiator. Also the fan shroud on my 01 has the same foam perimeter . Good luck, and keep it simple while troubleshooting. One step at a time , and check for results with each . [/QUOTE]
