I have an 03 R/T. Did the earlier models run two fans or am I missing mine? I have been running a little warm this summer.

 

err. you should have a clutch fan (big metal fan running on the crank pulley) and you should have another fan on the raditor used for A/C and when the motor gets above 212. It only comes on when you run A/C or the temp gets to a certain point (that the reason why im wiring in a new switch)

also i would suggest installing a 180 thermostat. It will really help out on your running hot problem, also make sure your coolent reservor is full, and that all your fans are working.. normally in stop and go traffic it gets hott.. but crusing down the highway your needle shoudnt move.

 

That makes perfect sense. In stop and go traffic I have to turn off the A/C (which drives my delicate flower of a wife nuts), after which it runs at the right temp. The dealership that I bought the car from repaired a minor front end damage, replacing the A/C condenser and the tranny cooler. They must have pulled the radiator and didn't put the fan back on. Time to call the dealership again. They are already sick of hearing from me.

 

I'm guessing the 5.2's have 2 fans. Do they? If so,I have the one thats on the crank pulley, but not the one thats mounted on the radiator for the A/C.

 

5.2's dont have electric fans.




but I cant wait to see what it looks like when its done

 

the electirc fan on the 5.9s was part of the r/t package.. i know know the 4.7s have them to.. 5.2s got screwed.. doesnt matter much though the motors can cool themself.. lol..

 

o and in the last pic.. you can see part of the electric fan.. thats what it looks like..

 

so all r/ts are suppose to have an electric fan to? i have a 98 that just has a clutch i hope the person i bought it from didnt ****in rip it out or ill be a little mad

 

as far as i know they did... but i guess i could be wrong.. maybe it was 2000+ only.. google it. I might be wrong.

 

If it was like the D then they only started putting the extra e-fan in in 2000. Why don't you try my route out User, I did the mark VIII and for your application it would work out great and you don't even have to get rid of your overflow just trim the top corners on the fan shroud.
