Re: Cooling system issue....

lots of good advice here.

i am running a big block with a/c full blast all the time under the same conditions you are. i have the factory setup and have never had an overheating issue. if you never had problems before moving to palm springs, i would suspect your cooling system is functioning and adequate. the first problem i see is the lack of a shroud. air takes the least path of resistance, and without a shroud to channel it through the radiator, it largely goes around it. many other things listed above could also be the issue.....but i would definitely start with a shroud. if that does not solve the issue, it is not money wasted because you need it regardless.
