FAN UPGRADE COOLING/OVERHEATING
well it is still pretty cool around here. I think I will put another motor raft t-stat in. Can you get one that runs cooler than I believe 190-195* that is in there now? Do they offer a 180* stat. I am also going to get a fan clutch since you can no longer get OEM what is the next best, a...- Torinojts

FAN UPGRADE COOLING/OVERHEATING
This is exactly what I thought, 220 is hot for running empty. the radiator is a factory 94. I had the tanks removed and rodded out by a radiator shop, so should be good. I had the factory fan clutch and tried two other new clutches. one I modified the spring and did not help. radiator is...- Torinojts

FAN UPGRADE COOLING/OVERHEATING
normal driving it does not get hot but runs much warmer than I would like hoovers around 220-225. When pulling my boat, or anything for that matter, I can pull things just fine and it can take maybe 10 miles before it reaches its operating temp of around 220. every little hill, I mean a small...- Torinojts

FAN UPGRADE COOLING/OVERHEATING
It is a factory idi radiator, auto E4OD with a big trans cooler before radiator. i never thought it could be timing. I think it might be a little advanced right now as it seams it has a little more clatter than most idi’S I have heard. I did set it at 9.5* I believe. I could retard it a 1/2...- Torinojts

FAN UPGRADE COOLING/OVERHEATING
Here are the pics that I got, the front end opening is not as big as the late 80s to early 90 Fords, then add the bumper, this might be part of the problem. A lot of the radiator (about half) sit below the frame rails.- Torinojts

FAN UPGRADE COOLING/OVERHEATING
I have tried 2 different fan hubs but not a Hayden. For $85 I will have to try one. I will also search face book and see if I can find A A Ron Loder's post and purchase a fan from him as well. Isaac Ristow, do you happen to recall the radiator part number you have in your rig now? thanks- Torinojts

FAN UPGRADE COOLING/OVERHEATING
I have a new water pump and a Motorcraft thermostat. I did remove the check valve in the t-state housing as well. I used a vacuum filler to fill the cooling system, so no air traps. This engine is in a 75 Ford with a pretty big bumper on the front, possibly not enough air flow at highway...- Torinojts

FAN UPGRADE COOLING/OVERHEATING
It is defiantly getting hot. I have a good quality digital temp gauge that reads in increments plus I can switch it so it reads out the temp. I compared it with a temp gun and it is on the money.- Torinojts

FAN UPGRADE COOLING/OVERHEATING
I thought about that but I do not want it on full-time. I removed the spring and tightened it up thought that would help but it did not. I do have a new Motorcraft thermostat in it and I had the radiator disassembled and the core rodded out- Torinojts

FAN UPGRADE COOLING/OVERHEATING
I have tried two different fan clutches along with the original one. I can never hear the fan come on and it will over heat if I let it. I did not try an original (new) Motorcraft however. I would like one I could wire into a fan stat.- Torinojts

FAN UPGRADE COOLING/OVERHEATING
I have not been worrying about cooling since it is winter time here and I do not drive my truck when there is salt present on the road. But now it is getting close to spring I got to thinking about how hot my truck runs when pulling anything. I know the cooling systems and fans have been beat...- Torinojts
