Just curious if anyone has installed a pusher fan and had positive results?

It’s been a very hot summer here and I have noticed that my temps have crept up on a few runs on extremely hot days. Mostly on big hills/mountains such as in the Quebec Laurentian’s.

I have noticed that in extreme conditions my 2 year old Sanden will start to squeal intermittently. I really don’t want to blow that baby apart. It is doing a fantastic job of keeping the 78 nice and cool. Thanks to Jim K, Applied and this forum I DIYed the AC a couple years back and so far so good.

My H20 temps usually hold steady at 190 but it has moved over 200 in extreme weather. I have gauges on trans fluid, motor oil temp and diff temps. It’s a bit unnerving to watch those three creep up, that’s usually when you may hear the odd squeal.

I believe my rad is in tip top shape as the PO had it recored when he installed a DP 455.

I also have a new old stock Griffin Rad that is slightly damaged. I haven’t taken it anywhere to have it tested as of yet.
On the Griffin note: is there a brass fitting kit that is required for the Griffin rad?

Thanks in advance...
