Question Make truck run cooler

I recently replaced the factory exhaust with a Gibson super truck exhaust and replaced the factory air filter with a K&N filter. The truck has more overall power but runs hotter. I want to know if anyone knows what else i can do to my truck to make it run cooler. Please reply. Thanks!

Re: Make truck run cooler

the easiest things to do would be to check the coolant/water ratio, make sure that the radiator isn't obstructed(bugs, leaves, and that kind of stuff on it). you could also change your T-stat to a 180* (stock one is around 195* I think)
also may want to check the fan clutch and water pump to make sure they are working properly.
hope this helps some,
Keith
