I ordered that other variant water pump that has a straight outlet. Need to get an upper hose. Saw a 2010 silverado was good to try. From a 1500 series?

I'm planning on cutting it back and then adding a screw on cable stop like some of the aftermarket cables have. This would allow you to retain the LS factory throttle cable mount and the toyota firewall mounting pad.Has anyone cut and adjusted the length of the Toyota throttle cable for a DBC LS throttle body? Looking at loiter and motion work cables. The toyota cable is just too long and in the way.
well look at radiator from silverado truck it is almost double the sizeThanks for the input, curious why you say? Electric fans are coming with more and more motors these days? Is it the radiator is too small not having enough coolant capacity, or do you think two 12" fans want move enough air? I guess I'll find out here soon enough, we usually have over 100 days over 100 degrees where I live. A few questions I do have, does it matter which hose feeds into the transmission cooler, i.e. do you want the "hot fluid" from the transmission going to the top connector, and cooler fluid going back to the transmission, not sure it matters as I bet the pump is moving enough volume, that the fluid probably isn't in the cooler for long.
I wouldn't worry too much about it. Run it and see how it goes.Thanks for the input, curious why you say? Electric fans are coming with more and more motors these days?

Not sure i agree. My AMG CLS 63 ran electric and certainly wasn't an economy vehicle. Even in 110F+ with twin turbos and me driving it like it was stolen i never managed a coolant temp over 204 and an oil temp over 240. And that's a larger displacement and hotter engine with a smaller rad than a typical LS swap.Electric fans make sense in economy vehicles where efficiency is paramount and the cooling package is designed around them.
Mine trigger at 204, 208 and 212.we’ll see, kinda too far down this path right now. I have an all metal OE radiator. We’ll see if it’s up to the task. I just broke the paper clip cooler so I have a new heat sinc cooler on the way. I could also see replacing the trans cooler with one with its own fan as well. I’ll do the best I can at getting the shroud on
For those who used the GM pcm to control the fan relays, what temps did you set for a trigger? I know I’ll need to use the a/c as a trigger as well, but I don’t need the fans on with the a/c going down the freeway. So any tips?
With a 196 thermostatMine trigger at 204, 208 and 212.

i had extreme duty fan clutch and it was keeping the engine cool without a/c on with no problems , but on hwy and a/c on engine temperature will go over 230 F
but i did not like how loud was that fan
so my solution was medium duty fan clutch with another radiator , with two small electrical fans and now i have no problems any more
and another very important detail on that gm water pump hookup for heater core must flow all the time otherwise you will have overheating problems
good luck with that fan set up
i bet you they will be blowing constantly
i m using mechanical fan and i ended adding another radiator under the body with two electrical fans to keep it cool in 95 F and up with A/C on
