Latest update: I've had much success with the new water pump adapter plate and fan setup. The increased air flow from the fan really cools the radiator and the truck has never gone over 180 with this setup. I had one new problem that came from this. The increased air flow blows a few drops of oil out of the vented breather cap which runs down the valvecover. I replaced the vented cap as it was two years old but that didn't solve the issue. Anyone else have this issue?
This never happened with the old lower mount waterpump and fan as there was not nearly the airflow. Keep in mind this oil issue doesn't happen at idle but at top speed. I've stuck a small piece of cardboard infront of the breather cap when I'm going for a high speed run around town but I remove it when ever I park the truck. That seems to solve the issue as it acts like a windscreen and no oil come out of the vented breather. Problem solved with a cheesy piece of cardboard but it does make me laugh. Its always something with this truck but I love the challenge.
Anyway anybody else have this issue and what'd you do about it?
I'll take a couple of photos later today and post them so you can see it.
