i have had some issues getting my e-fan to engage when it is supposed to, but, for now, i have it hotwired so that it stays on the whole time i am driving. even with the fan on, at idle, the truck gets up to around 215-220.

luckily, the light has turned green or i have noticed it getting warm so i started driving, so i dont know if it will just keep getting hotter.

once in motion, it will cool down to about 185-190. but if i get caught at a stop light for a few minutes, it will creep back up to around 220.

the thermostat was supposed to be a 180, and the fan was set to engage at 180 also, but i must have the wiring messed up.

does this sound like the water pump could be going out? if the thermostat wasnt working the truck wouldnt cool down to below 190 while driving like it does. would it?

thanks for any help
