Heating promblems.

My temp is rising by the day. Ive changed pumps, thermostats, coolant and cant keep the temp under 240 with the a/c on or off. Im running 2 10 inch electric fans is this not enough for the hot summer times? Engine is running fine nothing else seems to be outta place. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks gents

+1, i was having similar problems, with a 12 and 14 fans, switched to 34" radiator and 05+ efans... No more problems at all AC on high in 107* temps, my ECT never goes about 201....

Yuma, Az...yikes...even hotter than here! I drove through there once on a Labor Day weekend excursion.

Too bad you shotgunned all those parts;even with a clutch fan, it would have a tough fight in your area.
