Ya had the car out on a drive to San Francisco! All was splendid until about my last 2 miles on the highway back home . Should be a easy fix just remove the side tabs off pop out the sensor and replace …think it’s 75.00 bucks for the part

Still getting a coolant temp of about 232-237- oil temps was cranked up to 268 getting worried was barley getting on it … Time for a new oil pump I think dam…
Might just go looking for the c8 to buy ! Bright orange for a change
Let’s see here pull out the steering rack once again , pull the aa again , might as well get a new ps pump as well , pull the cam , pull the timing , pull the oil pump , get a new radiator for the sake of it . And then giver hell right ? WTF

Yup got out the mpvi2 and ran test about a month or so back all was fine…I trimmed the fan tabs down a bit but I doubt it sitting slightly lower is having such great impact on things

Been looking at my volt gauge and I’ve noticed some 11.9 - 13.1 nothing higher a lot in the 12.1 12.4 range thinking this is not normal and that the alternator is finally giving up? Maybe a poor battery already?
Start up today seems normal 14.1 to 13.7 throughout the cycle to cool down even running the boost gauge lights ,stereo system , and headlights …thinking possibly when July 4th week was here I had the trunk open nearly all week cause that’s where I stored all my fireworks …so it was recharging maybe hopefully….

Good choice on DeWitts. Had one for 15 years now, never any trouble. With a 160° stat, car runs at 180°-185° in 85°-90° weather on highway, w/o A/C, 190°-195° in city. Runs 195°-200° with A/C in 90° temps on highway, 200°-205° MAX with A/C in City. But that's with an LS7, and a 25% UD HB. Also very rarely hits 205°. Usually 200°-202° in city, and that's in Florida with 90° temps.
