well she just turned 250k well she now has 250k on her and i want to get 300k at least b4 i put a new motor in. I have noticed that when i am in traffic she likes to get hot.she has never overheated but i don't know how much more the gasket can take. I want to no how can i make it so the fan is always running? i don't want a switch i want it to always run as soon as i start the car just to be safe. now if this can be done will it cause to much stress on anything? or is there somthing else i should do?
thanks

250!! dam. is it still strong?? for the fan i would say if you wire it in to a keyed hot wire with a fuse or a relay you would be good. jeggs, summit and a dozen others sell a fan wireing kit if you want to be safe.

I would just wire the fans to the ignition hot wire so they are always running if the ignition is on and get a low temp thermostat.
As a side not, when is the last time your coolant was changed? You may wanna change it if it has been awhile.

Damn that is awesome, Don't F* with it if it's running ok. 210 is not that bad in traffic. Get some water wetter and clean out the gunk from the radiatior that would help allot.

check the pressure in the radiator cap, or just get a new one. The springs tend to loosen up and loose pressure over time, which means that you will have higher temps.
