Originally posted by BigBald you need two 12" spal fans for that kind of weather to come on at the same time. Also switch your mix....run more water and less coolant. I would also set up DSMlink to turn fans on once coolant temps reach 170*. After that, try adding holes/cutting the bumper to allow the radiator to receive some air. I find it odd you are not ready to buy a radiator, but ready to spen 100 on some hoses....lol.
Jerrome, I will get DSMlink plugged in as soon as I get my powercord back from my friend so I can charge the battery back up again. I also don't know much about wiring, but I'm going to wire the fans together too. Only 1 12" spal fan right now though.
I'm also not worried about spending the money on the radiator if I knew it would fix it, but I'm more worried it is the headgasket, because I have not always had this problem and when I drained the antifreeze last night, it did have a bit of a darker color.
Just so I know what I'm looking at, how much does it cost to replace the headgasket. W/O labor, because I'm sure I can recruit some people to help me out with that.
