Not even to a quarter on the gauge. Doesn't move at all with time, and I also have the highest gear ratio possible for that trans, I turn more rpm than you do at 75

Re: rad temp to high with a/c on
My AC works perfect with all stock stuff and the gauge never gets above the first notch, plus a little, and that is only because when the fan took out the rad they put a 195 thermostat in.
The stock rad is more than efficient.
Hell the 3500 never overheated at all on all the trips to meets and races with a stock rad and that thing would buzz at 3500 RPM for 4 or 5 hours at a time.
Flush it, or get a new stock unit and carry on my friend.
They do wear out and get plugged up, but a clean one is all you need.

Re: rad temp to high with a/c on
must of been my original rad that was 19 years old,swapped it out,and now i can idle for long periods with out it going into the H mark.stays a tad above normal with A/C on max.
boy,that bottom tranny line,holy hell,and that cooling fan,where was the engineers that day,had to take the fan blade off first,then unbolt the fan motor,then i was able to unplug it,then the shroud.i thought one bolt for the shroud,pull the whole thing out,not! i even took the top rad brackets off,still didn't give me enough room to sneak the fan out as a unit.had to install the same way,shroud,motor,blade.yeah,i cursed GM today,sue me!

took a trip to a casino,came back to my son's house and noticed my driver's door had a nice dent in it.his neighbor came out and told me he had hit it,I told him I appreciate his honesty and i will keep repairs to a minimum.maybe a body shop could pull the dent,and fix paint problems.paint on that door is the only bad paint on the whole car.door was replaced by a dealer when it was new.they did a very shoddy job.
