Reply to "not happy with coolant system :("

I'm not the expert on this but spent a lot of time on this as well. I'm using the Ron Davis radiator that lays forward but both fans are suckers on the inner side of the radiator. I have the header tank setup as well and I know that you have to have the coolant level above the lower tank hose but not completely full so that the air has somewhere to go.

Did the coolant actually boil over after you parked it? I've been spooked by high temp readings but as I've learned on this forum, if it isn't boiling over then it isn't an issue.

For reference my new Ford Raptor will clip 230F on the freeway if I'm driving 80MPH or more for extended periods of time. It doesn't overheat but the gauge gives me the heads up reading. It has front mounted fans and I suspect they may be stalling out at high speeds due to high pressure.

I'm sure some of the experts will chime in here shortly.
