Re: Could my AC be overheating my truck?
Dave I feel your pain. I upgraded my cooling system with a Griffin Radiator and two 1600 cfm fans because I get very uncomfortable with my 402 approaching the 200 degree range. It did fix the problem, never ran hotter than 195 degrees even in Nashville with 80-90% humidity and 95+ degree temp. The Griffin radiator was not reliable, its an epoxied versus welded radiator. I'm now back to my original 4 row brass but with the aluminum shroud and electric fans I was running on the Griffin. My AC is down at the moment so I can't say for sure if the electric fans with the brass 4 row will work. I'll let you know if a couple of weeks as I'll have rebuilt the AC by then. I've been told numerous times that even when these trucks were new, the big blocks would run up to 3/4 of the gauge with the ac on in traffic in hot weather.
