[V8] Overheating, loss of electric fan 92 V8 4.2

[Dag Bøsterud]

I feel that things are THAT hot. It might be my imagination, but I feel that 
it shouldn't be that hot from just driving 1,5 miles..

I've added added a bottle of cooling system flush, and the color of the 
coolant has started to go from red to grey... maybe there is some clogging 
after all?
