Angry Cooling Issues

My car is constantly running really high temperatures. I have changed to a 160 degree stat and flushed the system. What else can I do. Every Camaro I have had has ran hot. I have to turn the a/c on to get the fans to kick on. I have also changed all of the relays twice.

Yea that will work and be the least amount of hassle just like the SLP switch...but you might as well just make your own switch and save a lot of money. There are how to's online on how to do it so just do a search

Put a Griffin Radiator in and forget about all overheating issues. I put one in several years ago and have had no issues with the heat out in the Mohave Desert(death Valley area).

Unless your radiator is broken and it has to replaced anyway why do this?

I would much rather spend a few bucks rather than a few hundred when it is going to effectively do the same thing.

Is your lower air dam still intact? Have you removed the air ducting going to the radator?

I have not removed that. I have not done any modification to that part of the car yet.
