for you gearheads 92 f150, 302, at idle or around town it runs cool, soon as it gets up past 2,500 rpms on the freeway or long straight away, it almost overheats, now ive replaced the water pump, brand new raidiator, water temp sendin unit, new fan clucth, thermostat, all new hoses and even double checked the thermostat on the stove, motor has 150,000 on it still runs strong, any input would be helpfull

strange, at speed it should be able to air cool. Have you flushed the cooling system, and does the heat work? Also are you still using the factory gauge, they don't have temps on them if I am correct and normal is the middle.

yes im currently using my stock gauges and the heat and AC work fine and it runs about 1/4 at idle and jumps past 3/4 almost pegged, i flushed to engine about 4k ago right before this problem started, someone had stated could be a head gasket goin out, at high rpm's it could be expanding letting co2 into the water system

Do you have lights in front of the grill? How is you timing?
tranny slipping ?
timings fine i was told that at high rmps the plates open up in the distributor and retard the timing so i checked it for sure , the tranny bumps everytime it shifts it holds tight when im on the gas but i figured stop and go would put more stress on the trany than on the freeway and i do have two 6 inch lights but there never bothered it before it all started after i installed glass in the front and my bumper......

hmm maybe in some strange way air being pulled in from the fender wells is counter acting air coming through the grill .
how is the tranny temp ?
got a skid plate? that will decrease air flow by a bit
stupid people shouldnt breed!
no skid plate and the fender wells are sealed up tommorow im gonna get a temp gauge for my trany and see what hapends its been a battle....thanks guys ill let u know what happends

Does your bumper go through the grill? If so did you remove the air diverter? I recently removed mine and it jumped almost 20 degrees at hi speed.
