Hi everybody,
Need to change the cooling system on my car. 1990 5.0 GT AOD. 81k miles
1) Need to replace cracked fan2) Replacing serpentine belt.
3) Relace hoses (they're all original...running on borrowed time I guesss)My questions are....
A) Should I forget about repacing the plastic fan and go electric? I'm not looking for any more power, just want the car to run well (which it does now)
B)If I do replace the fan, should I replace the fan clutch as well? And if the answer is yes, should I spend the extra bucks on the cobra clutch fan?
C)When replacing the hoses, I got all these years out of the stock hoses. The blue silicone hoses look great, but are they worth it? My thinking is probably not. Looking for opinions.
D)Should I repalce the thermostat? It's the original stock ...opens and closes fine...
E)Should I get the radiator boiled out? Are there even radiator shops anymore? ANd should I replace it?
F) The "Low Coolant" light comes on, even though the respvoir is filled. Anybody know the fix to this? I usually do it the cheapo way...car gets to running temp. Restart the car, and the "Low Coolant" light goes off.
Thanks for your help!
Jimmy
