sounds like you possibly on the right path. the only other thing i would suggest is to also purge the cooling system.

i went on svtperformance to the how too section and used this thread...

mainly you just have to pull the plug out of the bridge slowly after warming up the car, and some coolant will come out, along with the possible air bubble that is in you system.

ya bleeding the cooling system on these cars takes patience.

change the tstat and then make sure you bleed it well.

Also when you purge the system elevate the front of the car as it helps the bubbles find their way out.

never thought bout doin that.

i did this for my 2005 mustang bleeding the clutch though, and it helped a lot.

changed the thermostat and awaiting it to warm and 5min still ilding and no low speed fan...hmm so 10 goes by still none and 20 still none finally it hit normal temps still no fan starts to creeps twords H and mid way highspeed fan kicks in,so i take it my low speed fan is gone could it just be the fuse?
