GM specifically runs the LSs at 210. Every stock LS I've ever driven sits at 210. So if you're not going but a couple degrees over 210, you should be good.
194.5 thermostat that maintains about 203. The gauge reads 210.
Without hacking the car up you could try and modify the cowl panel to exhaust some under hood heat
Good shit! Another good tip to save a few degrees
Lol "your mom when she subscribes" had me dying
210 is the norm op temp
It should run at the T-stat temp you have in the cooling system
I also think the radiator still a little small for a v8
The LS2 in my caddy runs at 210 all the time!
Great job on the video. I like the way you blocked the by pass. I hope it hold! I suspect you still have air in the system. Look around see if you can borrow a vacuum fill tool. Might help.
Lol I hope it holds too at least for the rest of the summer. I tried to bleed it as best I could
Radiator vacuum fill tool. It might be your best friend. Especially if you ever get a late model hemi or ford modular. They suck at getting air out.
So I don't have an LS but on my small block to alleviate excessive Heat if you keep the thermostat in and just drill two or three small h holes in the thermostat that does the same thing problem may be that with no restriction having no thermostat coolant can't stay in the radiator long enough to cool down thus everything heats up to equal temperature. Or eliminate thermostat altogether and use a disc with a different size hole as a restrictor plate until you get the desired result
good information, your on the right path but don't settle for that.
Please, please, clock the center cartridge of the turbo and make the oil feed straight up and the oil drain straight down, unless there isn’t room or something
Can't, the drain will hit the frame rails. Thats the best I can do for now
@@SniderTron3000 ah ok I figured it was something like that, love your videos man keep it up!
Hech yeah another video on James Brown hope to see another race like cash days with James Brown running rite
You have to fill the LS block through the upper radiator hose, simply because the thermostat isn’t open and doesn’t let coolant enter the block from the radiator.
Yeah, I know that. But that's a dumb design lol
Factory LS cars and trucks use a expansion tank as a fill point. And the factory pump and thermostat has a small bypass but you're still filling the system from low pressure side of the pump(lower hose). It is nearly impossible to get all the air out of system if you fill from the upper hose.
@@SniderTron3000 I was porting heads and totally missed the new upper radiator hose thermostat and deleting the lower oem thermostat. I’m still confused on the 1/8” restriction.
What's that part number for upper radiator hose thermostat
So by blocking that port, while still running a thermostat, what do you expect the pump to do until the thermostat opens? Seems like certain cavitation
2002 tahoe 265 k miles 210° is my number also
Famous last words, It will probably be fine 😂
I have issues with the ls platform running hot on projects as well....they seem to run at 200 all day long but I don’t like it. One thing that helps is an expansion tank.
What thermostat are you running
165 with mechanical or quality/ big oem junkyard electric fans seems to stay at 190 in 108 degrees NorCal summers
Normally they run at 210 so less is not hot
@@Whosurdaddy71 no they dont
Thank you for the information it will come in useful for my Nova , what shifter are you using for that 4l80e thank you
I have an SN95 mustang that had the stock radiator & fan in the stock location and i had issue with it getting warm to hot and this year I changed a few things around with a different radiator, fan, location and surge tank and I haven't had a single issue.. I'd really like to send ya a picture or video on it if you'd be interested..
Water wetter helps my LS swapped Vw beetle
-has a tiny radiator
"I cant believe it overheats!"
Shocked Pikachu gif
James Brown did good at the race the other night.
Do you have a link to that guys page? I’d like to look into getting that upper hose t stat
Keep up the great work
Naw man , your radiator is way too small.
Another great video 👍👍🇨🇱
My 03 6.0 runs@ 210 here in south la hope it’s a good fix.
Yeah, most of the ls trucks I've had run around 210. Oddly enough, my 454 crew cab truck never gets over 160 lol even pulling a trailer in the summer. Its got a huge radiator though
@@SniderTron3000 my 94 and 70 are both like that. Would be lucky to see 160 on a summer day.
What is the part number for the upper hose thermostat
I would like to know also.
you got extra turbo for sale for a 5.3?
Just jump on ebay and grab a gt45, T76 or 7875. All work well with 5.3 just depends how much boost/HP you want.
how about wet wetter??
Water wetter crystallized white in cooling system...nasty stuff
How could I contact you for a ls swap
Oh man, I'm so behind on stuff already. You would regret sending it to me lol
Is it fast fast?
Nah
Here sir
Has to be the fact that it's not a ford engine...
You guys can't have it both ways lol you can't say "LS is just an updated Windsor!" AND that it sucks because its not a Ford lol
Some ducting for the rad will prob help
Damn
210 is not right cruising down the road. Too hot
Thats what almost all trucks run from the factory
@@Crustychevrolet Wow, that seems odd to me but I am really just familiar with German cars. So what degree is the thermostat?
@@bicylindrico I think the thermostat for most ls's is like 192°
195 is stock on my 01 Silverado motor.
My fan is setup to turn on @199 and off @196
Mine never sees 201, but I have a truck rad, no turbo so she Nevers has to work.
@@shop_night and that's what I was thinking. Just light throttle cruising should be pretty efficient in removing heat and the coolest it would ever run. If one is cruising at 210 with a 195 t-stat then what happens when she's working
