AC on = high coolent temps

[bigmerc'03]

I noticed today that while sitting at a light with the AC on my coolent temps were heading towards 220 and with the AC off at next night it stayed below 200 that cant be normal this is the first time it did this oh and today the outside temp was around 94 is something wrong ?:help:

Is your radiator fan working? At those temps it should be
running at high speed and readily apparent.

Mine ran about 215* at 95* outside in stop and go traffic!!:cool:

The A/C condenser AND your Air to Air intercooler produce a lot of heat and will run you up to 230*+ when the temps get to 100* or better!!:help:

I bought some water wetter and cut my anti-freeze down to about 30% and my temps dropped from 215* to 220* on 95*+ days to 202* or less!! :beer:

I have only run it a few days but the system is quite a bit cooler!!:D

Someone told me that 240* won't hurt anything but I wouldn't be comfortable running with temperature that high!!:shake:

If your cooling fan is not running you will see a very quick rise when stopped in traffic.:argue:

Try "Hy-Per Lube Super Coolant".....I got it at Wal-Mart for a little over $6.00!!

Had the same problem--turned out to be debris clogged radiator--pressure wash down of the radiator took care of it---hope this works, Maury
