My specs are:
open cooling conversion.New 18lb cap,195* thermo,hoses,new cse 3 row,Dual procomp electric fans wired to manual switch.
Autometer temp gauge(to verify stock in dash)
With the old stock radiator the temps were lower.Really never reached 210 except while ideling in traffic or on the trail.....could drive around town without turning the fans on.
I tried a flow restrictor but the temps always sit right at the 210* mark and I'm running the fans WAY more than I did with the old radiator???Doesnt matter if I'm driving 65 down the freeway or 25 through town always at 210.
With the old radiator at speed the temps would drop well below 210* and I didnt run the fans nearly as much sitting in traffic.Another observation I made is the motor gets up to operation temp very quick compared to the old stock radiator.....
On the trail the fans stay on all day just to keep it from going above 210*
Thoughts????
