Thanks for the info, just to let you know I have a fluidyne radiator and its only a little over a year old. So far I've drained the coolant and re-filled, checked all the hoses again and they are fine, One thing I did notice is that now obviously both fans are on when I turn on the a/c but it doesnt kick on to once it hits operating temps and the a/c is off. I've checked all the fuses, in the engine bay and under the drivers side dash, and none are busted. I know there should be a sensor someplace but I cant find it anywhere to check for it being faulty. Can anyone point me in the right direction?? Also I am just curious but would the heat from an unheat wrapped DP being so close to the thermostat housing on the 420A, cause any issues with the thermostat reading higher than normal temps?? I have never had that problem before but its just a thought. Thanks for the help everyone
