Keeping coolant and transmission temps under control when towing in the summer heat

[gooffeyguy]

Do you guys know is the electric fans turn off over a certain speed?

They do unless the engine hits a certain temp then they turn on. I don't know at what speed they turn off or what temp they'll turn on at though

Yep, that’s how mine is too. Gotta remember that the engine isn’t making much power at idle but on the highway pulling a camper, it is. The factory radiator is undersized for the 6.2 towing, imho.

Is there an aftermarket rad that fits as a drop in unit and doesn’t require modding like the cold case does?

Is the Mishimoto a direct fit?

It is supposed to be... I would certainly hope so for the price.

Mishimoto came on here bragging about it for a bit then fell off the earth, a couple members have bought them, I seem to recall there needing to be minor modifications for install not unlike the coldcase.

My cold case just needed some massaging of the mounting tabs. No real modification of anything...other than the fan shroud of course due to the added core thickness.

I have one and it is a direct fit.

And the need for a restrictor in the vent hose to the surge tank.

True. Forgot about that little detail. Definitely seems stupid that they don't incorporate that in the radiator.

Well, it definitely cools better with that restrictor not there... lol

My Mishimoto fit right in with Zero Modifications..
I'm pretty happy with it.. I guess you get what you pay for !!
