So...errr, yeah. Does the V8s have a fan shroud?
Reason I ask (don't belittle me, please) is that there's like a 4-6 inch gap between the fan and the radiator.
Now, when I sit in traffic for a few minutes, or let the engine idle for 10-15 minutes...after it's already at normal temp (by the gauge), she gets hot...hot enough to make the info section in the dash turn red.
However, if I take it up to highway speed, it rapidly drops back to halfway between hot and cold, by the gauge.
And no, there's not a lick of a shroud. I should've taken a couple of pics while I was outside with it a bit ago, putting in a sub and amp.
Thanks in advance, as always.....the info is worth my weight in gold. And I'm a chunky bar steward for my height LOL.
Now...if I could find a good place to mount my 10 meter radio.....kinda leaning toward not installing it. Haven't had it in a vehicle since 2004 anyway.
