    To the OP, sounds like your clutch fan is going bad. Course your plans to go efans will fix that.

    i was having the same issues trav
    i put in the 160 tstat.. .got my tune setup for efans.. cuz trucks with clutch fans dont have that setup in the tune, made a harness, got efans on the cheap.. and its been ok.. until i blow a fuse then the temp goes up.. but normally stays at 180, even sitting in traffic.. i figured out my fuse popping issue, so now thats not a problem.

    i just scored a set of ls1 fans off ebay for 65 shipped. Maybe that will help with power and cooling in these humid 100 degree GA temps

    I wish we had 100 degree days...well we do but it doesn't get down to 100 till around 8:30-9:00pm.

    I just got invited to do a taste test for a market research company in 2 weeks paying $130 so I will be clostridium to getting the fans. I'm thinking that I will up to the 14" fan to maybe help fight the stupid temps here.

    Drain coolant... flush thoroughly... Add 2 bottles of water wetter and the rest distilled water, Then add electric fans later

    I have 160 t-stat in mine with the dual 15" electric fans and sitting still in traffic with the AC on it never goes above 175, and we have 95-105 days here in the summer. Also I have used the water wetter and it works ok but found out if you dont change out the fluid after 12k miles after adding it, it will break down and clogged up the radiator.

    105 is nothing here...last week we had temps over 110 every day. I think the highest I saw from the thermometer out by the pool was 120...and it's in the shade.
