If you people are having overheating issues Evens waterless coolant will make the problem worse.
Lover temp. Tstat might help in short bursts with periods of cooling in-between, like drag racing but for continuous hard pulls like towing a TT only real solution is greater cooling capacity.

Or lowering the ratio of coolant(like ethylene glycol) to water and adding some sort of water tension modifier, which usually work better the less coolant and more water.

I think the waterless coolant is better for show cars that sit often and don't see much use.

Yes you are correct.

I got between southern Nevada and New Mexico... Havn't noticed any issues but figured the 170 stat a a tune would help and while I am at it, replace the coolant. (I put 30k on it the last year)

Any of you folks try using a KillerChiller? They look pretty impressive, but having to keep your AC running for them to be active seems counter productive. However, with outside temps of 85 degrees and people recording coolant temps in the 50s seems like it would surely help

I doubt that is good for the engine, but interesting concept.

Killer chiller is for you heat exchanger coolant when you had a blower. My tuner wanted me to get one, but it just seemed like more money than I wanted to spend and there we're easier ways to lower IAT than that costly system.

I think the cost was around $700, and the cost of an upgraded intercooler and system was similar. That's why I considered it.

ROUSH makes this, but I am not sure how much of a difference this would make. It appears to increase capacity and cooling surface. I am still looking at what other options like this there are. The Mustang has several, but the F150 seems to be a little limited due to the nature of the vehicle

VMP makes one called the triple pass that looks really good too, but it's only for Mustangs as well, but am sure a knowledgeable person would make it work.

mechanicboy

You need to cut your factory A/C lines and plumb it it there so there's additional cost. Also, where did you find it for that cheap?

It's good for hot climate because it makes the intake air more dense as if you were in colder weather which is good for making more power.

Troponin

I thought I saw it on their website for that price.
