Fan Question (1 Viewer)

Where in Mass?? There are 2 types of electric fans! Push and Pull! One mounts behind radiator 1 mounts in front! Check and see what you have. Get rid of that aluminum plate around fan to get more airflow! Flush the entire cooling system ( drain on drivers side of block.) Change t- stat and see how that goes! If it dont work back to mechanical! I had a 78 FJ40 with cooling issues I couldnt resolve, so I just removed t-stat in Summer to keep it from over heating

About 90 minutes West of Boston out in the country. Beautiful country and 68 degrees for a high. A welcome change from 100 degrees here.

This is a 12” pull fan.

It’s a pull fan that is attached to the aluminum plate. The radiator is a brand new aluminum and the coolant is new as well.

Make some brackets to mount the fan! 2 pieces of angle iron! Get rid of that plate . You are only using 1/3 of the cooling capacity of that radiateor . Rip it out.

Why did they go aluminum radiator?
If you still have the original rad, I would be tempted to get that cleaned/rebuilt and go back to clutch fan.
