For all the new people -- regardless of how poor you might feel -- only use OEM radiators (apparently the Koyo is good too).
I purchased a CSF radiator last winter and have been running it since. It seems to work for most types of driving, and I only see issues with the temp heading past 210 and up to 220, when I'm on steep/long hill climbs.
Based on my research, I don't think adding something like an aux fan to the rad will help much in this regard.
Curious if anyone had installed an aux fan, and seen lower coolant temps. I have 93 with a digital gauge, so I know the truck typically runs around 190. Only on hill climbs do I have this issue, and it usually doesn't happen till after 4k feet of the climb. The recent trip I just did in mammoth (CA), I had to pull over twice and pop the hood to cool the engine.
If anyone has any ideas that could push my temps down (outside of getting a Koyo or OEM rad) please send them my way.
I'm going to try different oil in he clutch and see if that helps at all.
Best,
Chris
