fan shroud
Okay, so I just bought a brand new radiator for my dually 7.3. Now I need a fan shroud, it was missing when I bought the truck. Does anyone know where I can find one for my 92 F350? I have to say I've never seen a radiator this big out side of a semi...lol So I'm going to assume it's bad to run these without a shourd. I know my 73 will over heat in no time at all without the shroud. On a side note, can you believe I fit this radiator, still in the box, in the back seat of my 2000 mustang?

why buy just a shroud,when you can buy a shroud with built in e-fans.

I wouldnt mind going to the electric set up. I've seen the write up on your conversion. I have the v-belt system in mine so i have about an extra 1" or 1 1/2" of room from the radiator to the pullies. it was not fun stuffing that box into the mustang. its as tall as the door opening and the center concole will not allow yo slide it all the way in...lol I got it in...it was not fun...lol i just dont know how much i want to spend on the fan set up. not sure what a new or used shroud would run me. Too bad the taurus fan wont work. I know of a 98 sitting and rusting that I can "borrow" parts off of before it hits the crusher. I have the 130 amp alt off of it on my 73 390 right now. Might steal that off the 73 and stick it on the diesel. I just hate the thought of taking a part off that motor as I'm trying to sell it.

Before/from production date 5/4/92 makes a difference. With/without a turbo makes a difference. A non turbo uses a two piece shroud (right/left).
The production date is listed on the upper corner of the Certification Label.

I hope its the two peice...

I have been running mine without the shroud for a year now with no problems. The body lift made the shroud unusable. But then again my fan has never kicked in no matter what i pull or how hot it gets outside. The temp on the gauge has neve got over 210 either.
