Ford Mustang: Overheating?

Full mark is at the cold level. Add some antifreeze to bring it between the
hot & cold mark. My sensor trips at the cold (full) mark also.

Gauge reading is the same on mine. Runs anywhere between the low end to high
end depending on air temperature and cruising speed. Since I am running 4:10
gears if by cruise speed is around 75-80 mph (2700-3000 rpm) on a hot day
the gauge will be at the high end

Would it help to replace the thermostat with a 180degree one?

Keep your powder dry and don't let your meat-loaf. )

I'm running a 180 degree thermostat with 3:73 gears, the needle only gets
to 3 o'clock position above 80 mph for any length of time. In daily driving
it sits at about the 4 o'clock position always. I also live in South Florida
so I know what you mean about the temp. here. I have a 3 core radiator ( 4
years old ), new water pump (changed last week due to leak) and the
thermostat has been in for about 2 months now. I also put on new Goodyear
Silicone hose when I put in the new thermostat. I had a 170 degree before
that and it ran too cold, took forever to heat up. I also flush the radiator
about twice a year and replaced the original clutch fan about 8 months ago
due to it looking so bad.

Thanks to all for the input....I will get all this done this weekend.

BTW, is pressure testing a good idea?
