What kind of water temps are you running in your PWs when it is around 90+ degs out pulling hills? Don't tell me you only get up to 160 degs. Just tring to figure what is normal for those real hot days & working the PW. I get around 195+ on long hills in the 90+ deg weather but drops right down at the top of the hill in a mile of driving. I have got up to 200 degs when I was pushing it hard going up a 4-5 mile long one at 10% grade in 3rd gear in 90 deg temps out side. I have never boiled over or loss any water yet but was concerned. Never gets hot any other time. I run a 180 deg stat in mine with a 50/50 mix about 1 1/2 inch from the top of the radiator with a 6-blade fan. Mark H.
