I have windstar fans on mine right now that do a great job of keeping it cool but hate how much current they draw. I'd like to go back to the clutch fan at some point.

Are you still running the signal through a Dakota black box ?It's black! Thanks!
Yup, those wires grounded. The CDL & elockers all work. Tested the three wires to the sending unit, one gets 12v, one is grounded, and the other presumably sends the signal back to the combination meter. I beeped it out all the way to the glovebox, but don’t think I can actually test for a signal while diving. Replaced the sending unit on the tcase. I’ve got two more things to try: is the speedo gauge in the combination meter grounded? And dig a little deeper in the tcase to check that the sending unit is properly engaging.Did you ground the brown and white wires with black stripe coming out of the t-case harness? That was my issue with my '97's speedo. The tach on my '97 was easy with the dakota box using the black wire with silver bands that went to the toyota PCM
The nice thing about the LS is that it's easy to upgrade the alternator for more power if necessary. I thought about electric but decided to go mechanical for simplicity. I do have a electric pusher for when the AC is on.I have windstar fans on mine right now that do a great job of keeping it cool but hate how much current they draw.

I agree. Works great.That kit is an amazing value IMO.
Did you noticed high temperature Without the shroud? I want to remove my shroud to see if i get better airflow on the freeway. I want to see more air movement under the hood. Seems like with shroud the air is bouncing back off it on speeds over 50 MPH.Working on my fan shroud. Without the shroud motor runs fine but I think it will help in the summer, especially in pulling air for the condenser at slow speeds. So far I'm getting about 16mpg in town if I take it easy. If I romp on it in town a lot mileage tanks to around 13. Haven't figured highway mpg numbers yet. View attachment 1940768

so i m also adding extreme duty fan clutch and hood scoop
i m not having problems with overheating but don't like to see 210-215 F on freeway
If your shroud is really shallow I could see how air could be bouncing off of it as u say. My shroud is 2" deep before the fan. A guy at work has a LS with a shallow shroud. His LS overheatsi ' m running volvo expansion tank and i also fill the cooling system thru the tank
and i ' m running suzuki vitara 14 " electrical fan to keep the condenser cool in summer and my a/c is like being in fridge at idle
i do not have overheating problem but just can't get over it running at 210 F heaven'S people telling me it is normalIf your shroud is really shallow I could see how air could be bouncing off of it as u say.

how far back did you move your engine because i do not have that much room between fan and radiator
