    Hey guys so my truck has been overheating for the past two weeks so last night I decided to replace my thermostat but that didnt do anything. I'm still running at about 204 degrees.. any ideas before I take it to a shop?

    Fans are not a waste of money nn. It's been proven time and time again that they make a mpg gain and free up hp. Why do you think ford uses efans on the f150s now, because they increase mpg.
