usually when a fan clutch goes it's also nice and greasy in the center (if that seal went out like mine did)
water temp at 230F with the AC on, is normal?

Get it over with. Go to NAPA, get a block test kit and do the do. This way you won't torture yourself wondering if you have a BHG.
In my experience these kits will find even a slightly leaky HG, and are as bankable as money.
The problem was the Fan Clutch:naughty: , I bough a havy duty one in kragen for 35Dlls and work great:biglaugh: .
Thank you all for your support! :biglaugh:

will the undertray help that much? Mines running hot on the interstate but its fine around town..
Yep...the under tray keeps air flowing through the rad. Without it, air will take the path of least resistance and that is not through your radiator 
guess i'll install it.. I've been putting it off as I didn't want to distort it around my intercooler, but if itll help i'm all for it

got any pics of this fan clutch you got at kragen?
Ups let me pick up the box from the garbage jojojojojo.
Also a big diferent is the sound of the fan, before I don't hear it, Now I can hear it! WOW jajajaja.,
I will post the brand and part number!.
By the way, I also have the undertray, I'll try to install this weekend, becasue I have a new turbo set up so I'll see if I can install it or need some modification:sarcasm:
If i don't fit my undertray I see + 5>8c temps here cruising at Highway speeds and while in my case it's not even close to running hot in a car with marginal cooling ie: (Blocked rad, debris in the AC Con, dirty scaled block) it would be enough to tip you into overheating...
I have to disagree on that marginal cooling bit... I think its more then robust enough to do what its meant to.
That is strictly speaking water, oil is a little different story. LOL.

he meant in a system that isn't well kept...
the stock system is sufficient, it's just years of neglect...

sweet.. I'm ~ 210f on the highway and would like to get it to ~ 200f and i'd be happy. a bit high, but for electric fans, cant ask for much, hahah..IJ. said:
Does that waterwetter stuff work at all? if i can get 2-5*f from that it would be worth it as well..
Works best with straight water, and there have been reports of it gelling up with coolant. Who knows what else was happening in those cases.
never had an issue with em gelling with coolant
they work best with straight water but straight water works better than coolant and water as well, it's about protecting the system as well...
