Re: engine codes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Joel Thomas" Subject: Re: Air conditioning Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2000 19:10:39 -0500 The fan clutch has never been replaced.I have never heard any roar or anything noticeable.there isnt a load of bugs. the lower part of the fan shroud I had to cut off because of my body lift. but it has never heated up like this before. I am going to replace the radiator cap. and the recovery tank is in good condition and after this happened i put it to half full because it has always been dry. so that probably means it is the fan clutch right?? thanks, Joel Thomas ----- Original Message ----- From: Stuart Falkner To: Sent: Monday, June 05, 2000 5:53 PM Subject: cool air > Hello, If your fan clutch has never been replaced it probably is over due. > When it got that hot the clutch should have kicked in with a noticeable > increase in fan roar.

I've got an '84 that I would love to put a cowl hood on. I'm jealous of the later models that have Cervini as a source for this part. Has anyone ever tried (I realize the lines of the hood won't match up with the front quarters) fitting a '93 or later hood to an 80-86 truck? **All I'm concerned with at this moment is...Does the latch line up and close properly?** What I'm planning on trying is getting a Cervini hood and having a body man that's great at fiberglass (probably a Corvette guy unfortunately) match the lines of where the hood meets the front quarters. I can't be the only guy who's thought about this!
