Yes, the temp seen by the clutch is the air temp. I am suspecting when you have the AC on on a hot day the air temp blowing over the thermal spring is easily going to be over 170 degrees. The Ford clutch is spec at 195 so that is a big spread - 25 degrees. The old clutch would kick in when the engine temp reached between the "A" and "L" of "Normal" on the temp gauge then the temp would quickly (30 secs to a minute) drop back down to between "R" and "M" and the clutch would disengage. I would like to hear how the Hayden 2799 operates on the 460 F53.
