[QUOTE="civicmindedex79, post: 674851, member: 2024"] [b]Re: rear radiator electric fan success stories?[/b] I am not sure how much I can add. I have a Smith chassis practically same as yours except my coolant runs through -16 braided line and not the chassis. I am running a "stock" 87 Chevy 4x4 radiator size but was bought through PRC with one of their custom shrouds and two spal fans. Not sure what CFM they are but they are on 50 AMP relays and will about kill the buggy when both cut on. I run them on a toggle switch only not on a temp sender. One of my fans will easily handle the load just trail riding but if it gets serious then it take both. Also they move enough air between the seats it about makes it miserable in the summer. Eitherway once I actually get all of the air out of the system mine hasn't overheated any. Overheated I would say 200 deg and below. I have a restricting washer in place of my thermostat. If it will help I will take measurements or get fan numbers and look up all of the specs if it will help anyone just don't have them on me currently. [/QUOTE]
