my temp seems to fluctuate alot since it had gotten really hot here now, i've been reading alot of threads about having to burp the system, my car is a 95 cobra and was wondering if that is needed to be done for my year, or just newer cobras?

Burping the cooling system is done when you replace the coolant, did you recently do this? The stock gauge is crap, get a nice autometer gauge and you will have an accurate temp reading.
my radiator cap crapped out on me and was leaking alot. so i replaced the cap and just added fluid in the radiator and the overflow, i wasnt sure if i had to burp the system on a 1995. I cant find any info on it
Under the how to section http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/how-319/477215-burping-cooling-system.html I would say no unless you need to flush your coolant.
UM... thats the procedure for a MOD MOTOR.. a 5.0 doesn't even have a crossover tube....
All you do is start the car up with the radiator cap off and let the air bubbles bubble out.. It will take about ten minutes before the thermostat opens... As soon as the radiator starts overflowing, shut the car off and put the cap on... done.
Thanks blown by you. Every time i read the burping procedure, i was like wtf is the crossover tube... I probably need to flush my system and add new its a 95 and probably never been done before...
No problem.. just unscrew the drain petcock on the rad... after that drains pull the lower radiator hose and a couple more gallons will come out..
This forum really should be divided up between 94-95's/96-98's to eliminate confusion like this

i been driving around with no spoiler, but i ordered a s281 wing that will be here monday. Next is some white saleen wheels
while your at it put a 180* thermostat oe is 195*
i saw a hypertech 160 thermostat on oreillys for like 8.64 should i get that since i have a hypertech hyperchip already on the car?
to burp a 94-95 you have to jack up the driver front (to make the filleer the highest point) let it idle until the stat opens, then squeeze the upper radiator hose for a few minutes, you have to do this quite a bit to get all the air out, even a little air will make a 5.0 run hot, but once you do this it should be fine.
ya, but i think the white saleen will set it off.
