That Guy, These two 10 inch fans are to supplement my existing OEM Efan for A/C use primarily. No way in hell would these two 10 inch fans alone would be able to keep cool.

Will wait until late fall and have my radiator flushed and antifreeze replaced. It's that time again. Hope this would help my cooling issue during the summer time.

As I previously mentioned. Without A/C running, the oem efan alone can maintain 180 even with temperatures above 100 outside. I guess my A/C works too well in removing heat from the inside cabin!

I know that, I just don't think that even with the stock auxiliary fan that those 10 inch ones are covering all that much area. Those little fans usually do move a decent amount of air, but it's all only in one spot. It would be interesting though to see if replacing the coolant helps any though.

Yeah I'd say something's up. But what can ya do..

Run a 80/20 mixture. Much better cooling vs 50/50

Just had over heating issues as well. Turned out to be the auxillary water pump, the pump that provides flow to the system through the rear (2nd and 3rd row) clinate control. It went bad causing the engine to overheat and throw an emissions P0442 code. Inoticed some coolant leaking m
