Well Westwego is a suburb of New Orleans, so once I get off the interstate and have to fight with traffic to get where I am going I then notice a problem with the heat.
At an idle, the motor does not overheat at all, or for short distances of driving. Whenever I get into heavy heavy stop and go traffic ( Driving a mile ever hour or hour and a half) or rushhour traffic where I have to drive for a long period of time, then get into heavy traffic, I then notice a problem. I have checked that when the vehicle is beginning to run hot, or when the needle begins to rise, I usually hop out and verify that the fans are in fact working, which they are.
I guess I will try to install some pusher fans in front of the condenser and see if that helps alleviate my problem - I might even try doing some mild duct work to help channel the air around and under the intercooler and to the the radiator better, thanks for the input.
