Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2002 WITH THE 4.7L THAT I AM HAVING OVERHEATING ISSUES THAT I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE. WHEN DRIVING AROUND TOWN OR EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY UNDER 65 MY THERMOSTAT NEVER GOES ABOVE JUST UNDER HALFWAY. DRIVING IN TOWN I HAVE YET TO SEE IT GO ABOVE THAT POINT. HOWEVER, WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IF I INCREASE MY CRUISING SPEED TO 70, MY THERMOSTAT CLIMBS. WHEN GOING 70-75 IT WILL GO UP TO ABOUT THE 1 O'CLOCK POINT BEFORE I SLOW DOWN, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR IT WOULD GO IF I CONTINUED. I REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT, FLUSHED THE RADIATOR, REPLACED THE FAN CLUTCH . BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINS. *TR
