overheating troubles

Reply #30
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

It's been mentioned, but getting hot at low speed and cooling off while moving would make me think fan clutch as well. Did you check it like someone suggested?
