I’m sure it’s posted in here somewhere... so while driving AC will freeze your balls off. But at idle cool to lukewarm. Day or night. No codes from DATC and I replaced the DCCv (Motorcraft) earlier this year. I’m thinking radiator or intercooler. V8 3.9 2002.
So I’ve been dealing with trying to lower my ECT to the elusive 198-205 range. Idling at 198 and going as high as 205 while driving. It seems i can’t get any lower than 205 idle after driving and upwards to 231 while driving. My main driving distance is 48 minutes city driving to work. 28 miles...
Thanks guys. There was an thread on here about changing the actuator. Said once you refilled the reservoir if you hear a whine start over. Like the fan motor or pump wasn’t getting enough fluid... still trying to find that thread
I’ve been chasing a running hot/overheating issue for a month now. I think I read somewhere in one of these threads that it’s a hydraulic pump? Or the fans not getting fluid or enough fluid. I’ve read so much it’s insane
If you guys remember I ran hot. I was lead to the hydraulic system. I replaced it with a decent one I found at junk yard. No change. I took it off and cleaned it and still no change. I changed the tstat housing with the aluminum jag one and new tstat. No change. Found a leak coming from fan...
So I just changed the dccv and the hydraulic actuator because the LS was overheating. Now I have an AC that only blows cold when driving... lukewarm at a idle. Pointers
Always one for the book... been working on this since Saturday, 7 days. I figured out why it was still running hot after swapping out the actuators. Like my last post said i cleaned my old one and was getting ready to swap it back in. First step. Siphon out the fluuuuiii.... uh, resevoir looked...
