I'm bringing this one back up because it seems I was right about the electric fan. Its been mildly cold here for the past month, & I find the electric fan is just barely keeping up. But on days like today, its mid 70's here, & while the fan can keep the temp down under 200, its not enough to cycle. I would like to get this fixed before summer hits. I should add that this is only an idle problem... When the truck is moving it is never a problem.

I'm using a summit racing aluminum radiator & have cut the support to move it as far forward as possible. This is the fan:

The engine is 1/4" away from the firewall, & as you can see, there is no room for anything else.

Are you guys using direct drive fans? I was hoping to stay away from that, but it looks like I might have to.
