lets revisit overheating om603...

its starting to get warmer here and im already seeing 100C temps.

i know ppl have said fan clutch, and i plan on replacing it because when i shut off hot (110C) i can easily spin fan by hand. I guess it should be locked to engine at that temp. so i will replace. new water pump, tstat.

but the damn thing will run 110C on hot days cruising at 80 mph. Seems like that would be far more air than the fan could ever pull. Ive flushed hell out of system, running G5 coolant. Ive had rad out of car and thoroughly flushed it/back flushed it/sideways flushed it/ect... water pours out of it just as fast as it goes in. Its clean, but does have 286k miles on it.

guess i should start with fan clutch and work from there but why would it still overheat on highway ?

this heat is causing the D2 to vaporize at the billet wvo valve, so when i run for a long time on wvo then try to switch back to D2 it stalls until the cold D2 comes in. problem only happens from mid april to mid oct.
