Stock radiator with a recore, honking 4 core unit. On the street I can drive it all day long and the fan will not come on. Temp gauge reads 190. But get it idling in the bush up a constant grade with a bit of fuel and that puppy heats up. usually the fan will keep it cool enough but on a teep grade in first gear and add in 75 degree weather and that fan can not cool the engine.

I have the biggest fan I can get in there but it is about 1/4 inch away from the rad - what I want is a shroud and at least 1 inch between the rad and the fan. I am pretty sure a 6bt fan hub and pulley will provide addition clearance over the 4bt unit.
