whew, It's good to see that we can all play nice. Now to the update, I have installed the taurus cooling fan.... and it is a TIGHT fit, I had to remove some of the webbing on the back of the fan to allow the water pump pulley to sit recessed into the back of the fan. I only have it hooked up on low speed for now as my a/c is not working. What I've noticed after the swap: engine RPM does not drop as much when I put it in gear. engine is much more quiet. Throttle response is now outstanding... woobah, woobah engine does not go "flat" on the top end like it used to. ( for example it would quit pulling at 3500 and then shift and start pulling again). oh the fan comes on at 182* ( i have a 180* tstat) and with a temp probe in the rad at the cap, the temp of the coolant never gets above 186* even idling for 30 minutes. All in all it seems the motor likes not having the big air brake on the front. Everyone will have to wait for longevity tests. |
