when im on the freeway my car seems to run hot... thremo was replaced 6 months ago and coolant was flushed last year.. water pump is 6 months old.... any siggestions

 

Shouldn't be a problem on the freeway, but fan switch? Dumb question, but is your coolant low? Any debris in front of the radiator? Could have gotten bad luck on the thermo... Of course mine runs hot all the time, if I stop for more than 30 secs it goes up from 180 to about 210. Only time it really stays put is when I am cruising at speed at night when it is cooler. 3.4s are notorious for overheating.

 

when you say its running hot, how hot???

since when?.. ive never heard of a single 3.4L overheating, and i know mine hasnt in the past 50K and 5 years

 

A few of my friends have them, they had problems with them overheating. Mine likes to run hot. I've read people complaining about it here and camarov6.com alot as well.

 

My 3.4 used to overheat all the time as well. But now she runs nice and cool. I just bought a 160 degree thermo and also bought a manual fan switch. The new thermo keeps it really cool 99% of the time, I only have to use the manual fan switch if I've been sitting in traffic for like 20 min. So if you have an extra $100 laying around.....i would suggest going out and buying those two items, cause it sure worked for my car.

hey did you ever take off the plastic under the car?? it directs air through the radiator when mine was off my temp would go way up on the thruway even with the fan on

 

mine does the same thing, but i have my air dam thing off, it was off when i bought the car, i should probably get it back on there!!
