I bought a Modine Super Cooling 4 row radiator (thanks for the hookup, Dennis!)
I have a 460, in a '76 Supercab. It seems to get up in temps still in 80-90 degree weather, but has never overheated. I am also doubting the temp gauge, as it likes to run at midway point or higher, while my '78 with original style 2 row runs at the 'N' and never sees half gauge.
Neither of my trucks has a clutch fan, just the stock, fixed-blade fan.
I will be installing an aftermarket temp gauge, just to see where it is at. If it is still high, I guess I will try that 'Water Wetter' formula to boost cooling efficiency, before bringing it down here to Florida. Maybe you will consider that as well...
