FORD 460 Overheating Mystery
1997 Fleetwood Southwind 35P ~Ford 460 engine. I noticed the rig running a bit warm when we first got it 5 years ago. It had 23K miles on it then. It seemed each trip it would run a little more on...

I agree, if your engine fan isn't kicking on until 230 or 240 then it's bad or the wrong one! Verify the temps, maybe it's not the heavy duty one for RV's. I'd also do a cooling system flush, there may be build up in the engine block if it wasn't flushed during the radiator replacement from years ago. I'm in Avondale, so not too far from you, and after I did my coolant flush I did a 70/30 distilled water to coolant ratio. We don't have to worry about freezing temperatures in the valley, and more water is better for removing heat! BTW, you didn't adjust the carburetor on a `97, Ford went to fuel injection on the 460 in `88:)
