Drove it last night for 5 hours doing some things. Stayed the same. Temperatures stayed between 199f and 201f. When I got into it it I never saw it go above 203f.

Update:

Highway it settles in at 201f, in the city it settles in at 199f. Seems to working just fine with the new thermostat. Thank you again for all of your assistance double checking my work.

Glad to help!

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.

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

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.

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

Do NOT remove the aforementioned bolt if you run an electric water pump. I can tell you at 55 gpm, antifreeze will hit a fully open hood when you turn the key to the accessory position. It was impressive, but not the "old faithful" I was looking for when I did my motor.

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)?

It's screwed into the passenger side head in the valley

Like Wes said, passenger side of head

So I checked the belt mapping and it is correct. I pulled the thermostat again and it was correct but I replaced it with the tested / working thermostat. Now to bleed the system. Looks like a squared fitting is needed to remove the bleed valve. Let me see what I can find

Can you offer some guidance on how you got the bleeder bolt loose? Mine is tight and broke my 1/4 inch ratchet wrench. I used some PB Blaster to help, but no luck. Any info would be a huge help!

When in doubt start cheap and work your way out.

Harbour Freight had an impact bit that worked and I think i got the air bubble out. I'm doing a long drive today to make sure. This thread was very helpful!

i think you need to burp the system ,,
anytime its opened up you need to..

you get this kit that you open the coolant res and put this container in and fill a littl with coolant than start the car and let it run till it warm cycles a few times
