Hi guys, it's getting warmer out there now, and daytime temp will be 85 this weekend. My newest Ranger is running hot. I'm running a 185 thermostat, wide open breather on a 4 barrel Holley, took off the electric fan, and went back to a 7 blade flex fan. Three row rad, fresh from radshop, flushed.

Been told to put a reverse scoop on the hood, to vent extra heat. Is there something that I'm missing? Has anyone changed pulley size on the crank or waterpump before? Should I run an oil cooler?

Why do FI motors run with single row rads, but carbed can't?

Check out the thread, "Radiator too hot or just a bad gauge", in the Under the Hood forum. Maybe some of my experiences this last winter will apply.
