It's SO COLD!!!

Wow, that's all I have to say after installing a fan clutch and fan.
I have an aluminum radiator, fan shroud, 160* and had a mechanical fan. At idle the car would heat up to near 230* eventually

I took RB83L69 and Vader's advice, installed a fan clutch and new fan.

Now the car doesn't go above 165* , THANKS GUYS!!!

There were some leaves under my hood, and I revved the motor, and they went flying everywhere, this thing blows some air.

:hail:

my manual fan switch when turned on at idle keeps my car at 160 as well...

if i leave the fan on while on the highway, forget about 140 sometimes!

i dont let it run that cold all the time

I got a stock fan for an '86 Camaro, but I got the fan clutch for an '87 S10 as they're heavy duty.
