My prob is the opposite of most others I see on here.
I am actually running too cool.
My gauges are 40-90-120 (Canadian) and very rarely do I get anywhere near 90 (210? I would presume for US)
I just replaced some plugs that were too cool for my rig, but they are only a month old, and I had this problem with older plugs aswell.
So I have 97 w/K&N FIPK, 99+ intake & injectors, Banks header, custom downpipe, stock cat, flowmaster 50 and 2.5" to tail. Also a custom set of battery cables, very large. Thats all I can think of that would affect performance. Synthetic oil, regular changes.
Now this all started when I took the A/C condensor out from the front of the rad. removed it all together allowing much more air to get to rad, and I guess this is causing the low temps.
Highway driving I am lucky to get 2/3's of way to 90... 75 I guess maybe 80 on really hot day. With cold weather rolling in up here I don't see things getting any better. Normally I wouldn't think this is a bad thing, but I don't want to burn all my fuel in the warm up stage everytime I drive. Also trying to get some heat in the cab took as long as the 15 minute drive to work... and that was still well above freezing.
I would think my solutions would be to maybe block of some of the rad to allow less airflow past it, hopefully reducing the rads effectiveness and raising my temps back to normal.
thanks for any other thoughts tho.
