8V92 Temp

[Mark Johnson]

I just bought an'88 WB PT40 in Louisiana and drove it home to Alaska
last month. For the first half of the trip the temp was rock solid at
about 180. Halfway through the trip the temp started to constantly
climb to 195 where the fan would come on and cool it back to 180. It
does this all the time now whether we are in the hills or on the
flats. I have had the thermostats and water pump changed and it still
does it. I don't think there is any danger because it never gets
above 195. Do any of you see your temps regularly climb to 195 and
then back to 180 as a constant cycle?

Randy,
That's a good idea. The fan comes on a little late
for my liking in my FC, too. I've got a switch and usually
control the temp myself.
If you want to be sure of temperatures, use a laser
infrared temperature gun near the coolant sensor to see how
accurate the gauge is.

Mark: Your cooling system is working just as it's advertised to do so.
It's in a constant cycle of heat up cool down. The fan take's
(according to BB) 60hp. to operate. The cleaner you keep your cooling
system the fewer time's it has to cycle and the better your mpg will
be. Don't worry about the fan cycling it's built to do that and won't
hurt a thing. It sounds like healthy system. Bob 93pt illinois
