Replying to: bella14 (Jul 25, 2008 2:14 pm) Sure 3/4 is fine. Engines are happier when they run hot in fact. It might be a good idea to see if you can get the fan to kick in SOONER, that is, at a lower temperature. Changing the type of sensor could help with this. Overheating problems can be a devil to diagnose---very challenging for any mechanic.

bella14..... Sounds like I have a very similar problem with my chevy. Was wondering if you would be able to let me know what you have found out and/or what work you have done to fix the overheating. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
