Eddie,You can also try the plastic fan for cooling. On my car it replaced the
stock metal fan with the dysfunctional gizmo in the middle. Dean sells the
kit.Of course your water pump is good? thermostat? radiator clean?On my car
some gunk broke loose from the heater core when I first started driving it.
Getting the radiator recored helped.Might check the reading for your temp
too.Good luckLinda
