Cooling capacity update

A. Got back from a trip to Utah but the fan clutch wouldn’t engage so I overheated on the long grades on the 93.
B. Took it out and tested it with boiling water and a torch and it seemed to lock up.

1. Next step , I Stuck a aluminum radiator in and will see if anything changes , adding an additional ground strap as well.

2. if it works then great, I’ll hold onto my old one and possibly recore when I have the money but for now I’m testing the waters , radiator is smaller in width by an inch so will see if that makes a difference also

3. 6.0 trans cooler works great keeps temps under 180 on the flat and under 200 on long grades
