Cooling Systems - What do you run and does it work?

I just wonder if its going to change the heat inside your seating area when you change it to be a puller instead of a pusher....

taurus fan with a Howe dual pass aluminum radiator. i thought mine was overheating pretty bad, but it was the stock gauge that was giving me a problem, put a mechanical gauge on there.....runs at 185-195 depending on how hard it is ran.

I have a big ass SPAL fan as is, I am going to run it in the right direction and figure out what is wrong with my WP. The radiator is still on the small side, so I may just put it in the back and say f-it.

IS your winch hogging a lot of real estate in front of the radiator? I had issues in my 'yota back in the day for this reason.

Not really. Switched the fan wires so it turns the right way

if its a 16" SPAL fan, you should be in pretty damn good shape now. Those bishes push some air.

Yeah I was pissed at the guy the first owner because he wired it. Then I pulled the heat shrink off and saw two heat shrink connectors that I use and remembered that I rewired the quick disconnect plug myself because it came apart at Chocolo Mtn. So yeah I am dumb. Blue and Black wires, going to Red and Black. The blacks don't go together.... :****:

No the problem is the WP sounds like an airplane again.........

Yeah, no ****. I suspect my gauge read a little high, but the new one is in now and now the fan blows the right way. Can only blame myself.

same boat. We had a guage tell us we had no oil pressure off and on and were between 210 and 270. bad ground. We lost an hour and a half plus then timed out by 4 minutes at a check. We are both beating ourselves up.
