G'day,

At the end of Gene Dotson's cooling presentation at Pueblo the first
question asked was "what about electric fans?" He hit the button and up
popped a slide of one of his aluminum radiators with two big electric fans
mounted in front of it. He advised that he is doing some testing.

Richard;
Check the thermostat before you make the 165* assumption. There is a
factory tolerance in both a new gauge and a new sender which can add up
to 10+%. Now after all these years, the error may be much greater. Use
DW's candy or cooking thermometer to check the water temperature. Drive
with the rad cap loose, stop and check it.
If you search the archives, you will find ELECTRIC FANS DO NOT WORK.
Many of the SOB's built in the last 10 years have only these
non-functioning electric fans. I can't find out why they don't work as
the Snow Birds seem to keep going to Yuma and back every year.
This is strictly an experiment on my part and the idea that has been in
the back of my mind for a long time. It came to the front after Terry
Skinner lost a fan clutch on the way home from Roy Utah and used one
electric fan to complete the trip. I am using twin fans from a 1995 GM
Lumina as they were free.
