Re: Question Electric fan
I just have the basic autozone water pump. I spent the extra cash for a
three core radiator, considering I live here, where it can reach 120 degrees
for a week. It was about 200 bucks, with warrenty and is metal (aluminum,
steel? I don't know for sure). My thermostat on the fan is set to come on
right before 220 and the temp probe is through the radiator fins right where
the coolent comes from the engine into the radiator.

Re: Question Electric fan
I put mine in the return path, where the coolant is about to return to the
radiator. That is where the factory setups have them. I don't think that
it makes much difference, except that you will be using slightly more
electrical power than I will. If you look at it from a theoretical
standpoint, you don't need to cool what is in the radiator, just in the
engine. Another consideration is that you live in a hot climate and may
want the extra buffer effect.

I think you misread... :) Mines in same spot. I want the temp of the fluid
