cooling problems Reply #20 – August 21, 2012, 12:36:47 PM Hi!! I just saw a comment on air dams and I started wondering... I have a 3.8 which has a coolant temp needle on an '88 running upscale when the weather is 80 F or above. This bird has an initial 15 year history for which the needle never much exceeded 1/4 of the way across the scale and rigidly stayed there regardless of engine activity. The fact that the needle has any motion when the car is stopped in gear or going under load makes me believe something is wrong--which it has been doing now for years. 2 years ago, I went out on an interstate on a hot day and the needle climbed right up to the red line. I made it home but have stayed away from those cirspoogestances since. All components seemingly check out as operable and I am left with the thought that the radiator is going out--but even there, the radiator appears to have a decent temperature change and has always been clean. Now the question: Back some 7 years ago we put new springs on the front end--one was broke at the end of a coil and you wouldn't have known it, by the way. Unfortunately, I think I was sold longer springs (say springs meant for a 5.0?) which raised the front end of the car maybe 2 inches. Could this impact air flow design to affect cooling anyone??? I can't imagine it would make any difference. Quote Selected
