overheating troubles Reply #30 – December 09, 2008, 11:53:59 AM my 85 cougar always ran a little warm on the gauge and one day it got really hot on the interstate and I had to pull it home. I took the radiator in and had it flushed the thing was probly 10-20lbs lighter when I got it back and the guy told my that the t-bird and cougars need to be flushed every 80k to keep them flowing well. Ran cool ever since Quote Selected
