straight to the radiator no shroud? How do you run your coolant and washer fluid tanks?

 

I'm not but you need a shroud.

 

its better but you dont have to you will just have to get a stout fan

 

I have a TCP shroud. Dont like it,runs cooler without it.

 

Joey,

If it runs cooler without the shroud than with the shroud, something is very wrong. I ran e fans strapped to the radiator for 2 years and my temps were never as stable as with that shroud.

Can you take a few pics of how it's currently mounted? And what you think might be wrong?

Bottles on mine were mounted with big HVAC zip ties for a while. Got tired of cutting them off and replacing them, so I put the stock fan shroud back on the radiator over the fans and used it to hold the bottles afterward.


here is a pic of coolant reservoir:

 

I was at a little 4x4 get together last year and a guy with a Cheby had his efan mounted clean and had two anodized aluminum bottles on a single mount. They were actually made for that purpose so he didn't have to do anything but mount them and plug in hoses. I asked where he got them and he said at some high end car/truck accessory shop in Ca.
I snapped a couple pics, I'll have to see if I can find the SD card that they still may be on...

 

As Squirrels stated, if you are running cooler without the shroud, something isn't set up right. I run the TCP shroud, and my truck runs as cool as can be. The shroud should always help, as it directs the air flow. A shroud isn't 100% necessary, but it does help.

I used to run a single Flex-a-Lite Black Magic 180 fan, like Hammer does. It got cooler faster and was more stable with the factory shroud then just the fan alone.

 

I first ran me e-fans mounted on the tcp shroud, Then mounted then straight to the radiator with the stock shroud over it still 220* temps onthe highway only. Yesterday I pulled the stock shroud off left the fans bolted to the radiator, and even removed two out of the 4 lights on my brush guard (the center 2) just incase they were blocking airflow well went on a drive and temps stayed at 200 throughout the entire drive. In other words 2 e-fans straight to the radiator. I would like to use my washer fluid reservoir seeing as I do a bit of mudding. WOOH COME ON!!!

 

Which e fans are you running?

 

two pro comp 16 inch fans. rated at 2500 cfm each
