I bought an electric cooling fan from LMC truck to take load off the motor and improve hp, mpg, torque. I got all those benefits and they were better than id hoped! But the motor gets up there in temps now. She's a 92 so the gauge has L to H with a "normal" range. Sits fine on highway. A/C compressor engagement bumps it up but only a little on its own. In stop and go or "around town" diving it goes to the high side of normal. Hasn't technically overheated and i can make it work. I had the shroud out at first. Installed it and it seems to help a smidge.
Should i retrofit the system so the fan sits away from the radiator and mounts to the shroud instead of directly to the radiator or should i get the flex o lite model with the aluminum shrowd? Is 16" fan just too small. Looking for any suggestions or experiences and product recommendations.
Thx y'all.
