wondering about fans? and also, installing a small secondary electric fan on the front of radiators..does that make a significant difference in cooling?

i have a 4 row rad, flexalite fan with correctly installed shroud, and a new water pump, yet i still overheat if i sit at idle for too long..would a secondary fan help that?

what size are you running now?

my SPAL 16" is advertised to move 2360 cfm and seems to work fine

dirtydave289

its a 17" but i overheat in hot or cold weather if i'm sitting still

i overheat when sitting for too long too...but then again my radiator is 41 years old and probably needs replacing.

the idea that fans in the front would help push air through while not moving seems like a logical one though

sounds like a bad radiator

ya haha most cars dont need secondary fans unless your running very hot and at idle that shouldnt be happenening...prolly a bad radiator

dirtydave289

well damn..thanks i'll look at that..is there really a way to tell?

try doing a radiator flush, the chemicals are cheap just follow the directions

or bring the radiator to a radiator shop. they can test and flush for you
