Zebvance Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 so I was having some overheating problems and I am replacing my whole cooling system. I put on a high flow 195 degree thermostat, flowkoolor water pump and am in he middle of installing a CFS 3 row radiator and the HD fan clutch from NAPA. I just put the clutch and radiator in for a test fit and I have about 3/8th of a inch of clearance. Should I be worried about this? I still have not in stalled the new fan shroud either. here are some pictures tell me what yall think. Also I just installed Iron man 4x4 motor mounts and they are SOLID the engine doesn't move around like it does with stock motor mounts. the vehicle is a 1988 comanche 4.0 4x4 short bed here are some pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebvance Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 forgot to mention, Mine also didn't come with additional electric fan since it was a non ac model. so I just got a new stock 97+ electric fan to run in addition to the upgraded radiator and clutch. I'm going to run it on a switch. Oh for got to mention also putting in a Flex-a-lite Heavy duty trans cooler and B&M trans temp gauge and some datsun 280z hood louvers. I really hope I won have over heating problems after all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadiseMJ Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 That's a little tight, but if your motor/tranny mounts are in good shape it shouldn't be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Too close for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knever3 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 If it were me I would buy a SPAL fan controller and get two late model electric fans and put them on cascaded temperature settings. The nice thing about the SPAL is that it doesn't just turn the fan on and off it ramps it up a percentage depending on temp. The second one can turn on with the A/C if you have it. I would be worried about it being that close but it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
