I’m going with my blocked radiator theory. After that it’s really just water pump and thermostat and then the rest of the hoses I haven’t touched.

One change at a time.

The lower radiator hose seems to be just as hot or hotter than the upper radiator hose. Tried to google the issue but couldn't find much on it. I feel like it backs up my radiator thing if anything.

Try taking out the thermostat and see if anything changes

After 14 pages, my car runs great. Good luck all.

I don’t like those. I’d rather make comments on other topics.

I don’t post often but when I do it’s to be funny or a douche.

Aight I’ll try to tomorrow. I’ve taken the serpentine belt off a few times and I’m pretty confident I am running it right as I just copy the ford diagram

Drove tonight in like 95 deg weather and it was holding around 208 cht. Got up to 217 after some 60-130 pulls but started going down. Was driving on highway and city with a/c off no heater.

That’s well within the normal temp window!

To what do you attribute that improvement?

No idea honestly. I guarantee it was just because I had the a/c off and it was a little cooler. Im sure when I drive to work today it will try to overheat again.
