It could be but one possibility you haven't considered is that there could be air trapped in the cooling system.
The '05-'06 GT models have a bolt in the center of this picture that you can unscrew to bleed the system. Do it from a cold start with the engine at idle speed.

Anyone know where this bleed bolt is on an 08 GT? I don't have this bolt and can t seem to find where Ford may have moved it.

If it's kicking in the fans at the correct temp I don't think it's your temp sensor. I also thought that the 05 comes with the red anti freeze.

07-10 had a different thermostat location and lower hose routing so the bleed bolt may not exist.QUOTE]

So if no bleed bolt then raising the front up, filling the coolant at the overflow tank, then squeezing the hoses while the fluid circulates with the car running is how I get any air out (bubbling coming from overflow tank)?

Anybody know where the temp sensor is on these cars? I read it's on the back of the driver's side head?
