Re: Can an AC Installed make the engine run hotter than before?

Mine has a 195* t stat. It runs 195 on cool and cold days. On hot days sitting it traffic with A/C on it will get to almost 210, then drop to 195, then back up to 210, then down to 195. We're talking 96-98*+ outside temps with high humidity.

Sometimes those fancy electric fans dan't do what their advertised to do... do you have them in a shroud or just attached to the radiator?

I run an old fashioned thermal clutch fan. Can't remember if it's 6 or 7 blade, whatever was stock for A/C trucks.
