Collinsboys and Frank,

We all have similar problems and traffic lights seem to be all our worst enemy. I am doing the same as everyone else and still find that a hot day and traffic don't mix. I too have my mechanical thermostat located in my heater line hose port (not running a heater either). My temp will rise from 190 to about 220 at a long stop light and then go down within a few hundred feet of the light.

Still trying to decide on wheather to switch to aluminum radiator (19"x24") will actually help. Sooner or later someone will hit on a cure for this inconvience.

My 5.4 litre expeditions temperature when pulling my Cobra in an enclosed trailer in 90 degree weather and setting at a stop light never moves past the middle mark of the temp gauge. What's the deal? More meat I guess and less compression.
