Thread: Overheating issues

Ok for the past 5 months ever since i put the fmic my car would over heat on the freeway when it is a hot day.. It never overheat at night..it usually on goes up bit not all the way to the top.. Just yesterday my upper radiator hose gave out on me..now replaced...HELP

have you flushed the coolant?

really you should flush it like 3 times if it never has been done. mine was really bad when i first put on the FMIC

keep the stock fans too

once its flushed i would run 70% distiled water 30% antifreeze. and a bottle of water wetter.

have you replaced the Thermostat and Radiator cap yet? i would replace those too

Napa sells a 170 temp one for $20, Chris is using one and helped mine out alot i guess, and autozone sells the standard 180 temp Thermostats.

I replaced thermostat 1 year ago and radiator cap... Flush??? Drain and fill right?

gonna need a better rad and/or more airflow to the radiator.

welcome to life after installing a FMIC.

Im gonna cut one air vent through my bumper like srt but just one...lol
