thanks for the tips red58.
i havent had my truck long, about 3 months, but have driven it in traffic, and at a stop light it didnt over heat and still dont now with the shroud.
now, maybe in a real traffic jam it might, but i have not been stuck in a traffic jam yet.
red58, bill, when you installd your buddies shroud on his 56, how far was the fan from the radiator ? mine is about 1 inch from it,a nd seems that if i were to remove the fan spacer to get the fan back away fromt he radiator, putting it at the very opening of the shroud, it seems that it would hit the alternator and belt, thus needing the spacer installed.
something just dont sound right.
shouldnt there be a thick shroud for a 6 cylinder and a thin one for the v-8's
how could my v-8 350 set closer to the radiator than a 283 v-8 truck ?
thanks again.
