I know thats on the cooler side, but how cool do you think itll be with the stock fan and shroud? not higher than 190 right??

you want to be around 190 when running a stock fan. I have a hard time maintaining a consistant temp with my electric fan.

If you have a good thermostat on the e-fan and or multi-speed version, you should have no issue maintaining whatever temp you set the thermostat to.

least I never had an issue with my flex-a-lite

Im not running a thermo switch. Dont even use my fan during the winter months, to damn cold. lol During the summer usually flip it on when I need it and usually stays around 190-200.

Yeah you konw what I was fed up..... I gave up. went to the junkyard. Found a clutch fan off a 20R and took it for 30bucks. Needed to put some washers to make it fit (20R didnt have power steering belt stuffs, so less room for fan blades) . But got it to work. I cut the electric fan shroud and used that and it fit around it HAHA! runs good lol.

But for my temp. I really liked my truck running so cool, was REALLY good. So you say now itll be about 190? damn thats hot... i guess well see.
Thanks so much guys! I really appreciate. I tried listening to everything you guys said but i just COULDNT FIGURE NOTHINNNNN OUT, so i gave up. Stock fan it is. lol.

Aloha guys!

Hey update guys. I ended up getting a fan from a 20R, got it to work, cut the shroud from the electric fan and it runs at a good 130*F, same as with the electric fan. And on highway it runs about 160*F or a tad more. Not bad and NO MORE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS!!

YAYY!! haha
