[QUOTE="Art Garcia, post: 988744, member: 66493"] Id say if it were the radiator, you probably wouldn't have the same amount of antifreeze in your reservoir as you did after the trip. But check underneath your vehicle for leakage of antifreeze. That might help it narrow it down whether it's the radiator or not. Electric Fran or fan clutch, well your fan seems to be coming on and off during slow speeds or idling. That's a sign it that the fan works. It does shut off after 25mph or so. Normally if the fan clutch is bad, during take off you will hear a loud jet like wind sound coming from your engine or so I've been told. But pay close attention next time. Thermostats, well those can turn out bad even brand new, some people like to test them to assure it's not a defective one before installing. I'd go with Ford brand, that's just me, typically they run about the same price as any other auto parts store. But I'd start out cheap and just work on up, so replacing the thermostats first would be a good idea! Did you ever take it to the shop? Did they tell you anything? [/QUOTE]
