    I have a dual set of flex-a-lite pushers fans mounted on front of my radiator. Cruising the motor gets no hotter than 180, but ideling it starts to creep up to 200 and that where I have the fans set to go on. They draw 22 amps and run for about 30 seconds to bring the temperature back down to 180. Works great.
    Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!

    Well.. looks like I will be needing to try something else. The Water wetter did help a bit, just takes longer to overheat now than before. I am going to try a new 175 thermostat, if that doesnt fix the problem a new electric fan, then a shroud. Thanks for the help guys. If you can think of anything else let me know.
