Ok so I live in Vegas, and as everyone knows its hot as crap here! my truck has been running hot, but thats my fault, i put electric fans on and took the clutch fan off, long story short the fans weren't powerful enough, so i put the clutch fan back on, but cut the stock shroud so its still overheating, but what im going to do is get a new shroud and put one of the electric fans on the ac condensor then it will be good! But ive been looking around and thinking of doing a trans cooler with a trans temp gauge and and and external oil cooler, any opinions on this? i think it would be best for me do to the fact i live in vegas and do a bunch of stop and go driving!

 

Have you flushed the cooling system? It may be restricted, causing poor cooling efficiency, which would lead to overheating.

 

Are electric fans worth it? Should I install them in my pickup? And if so, is it better to design a system of my own or get a kit of some sort? (If somebody makes them)

 

Design your own set up? Depends on your abilities and budget. Proper selection of equip, etc.

For a sure bet, I would recommend http://www.tcpperformance.com/

Not the cheapest, but well built, easy installation, great customer service, and works like a champ. Includes customs shroud that clears up some space.

 

Search for a thread by 2x1972. He went through lots of good info on that question. Either path is doable for people.

Thanks guys, but my system isnt clogged, just got new radiater and hoses and thermostat! it runs perfectely fine when the weather is cooler, i just dont really want to hassle with electric fans right know, maybe later on down the road when i have 500 dollars to spend on a kit i will!

 

There can be restrictions in the block cooling passages as well. I would flush it if I was you.
