Re: Finally getting AC
so I installed everything and while better, it's still not great. For the past 20 years I've run my 2 electric fans as pictured and temp only ever got up to the first hash mark on the gauge. Sometimes, in traffic, in the summer, it would get pretty hot, but that always ended up being low coolant or one of the fans quitting (bad electrical connection). Now, with everything installed, the needle is straight up on the highway. This is without the help of the condenser fan. While this is in the acceptable operating temp (right?), I'm worried about running the AC in summer traffic. The system is set up to run the condenser fan while the compressor runs; should I leave it that way or remove the condenser fan?
The fans are right at 2" from the radiator. The shroud was cheap and easy enough to build that I'd be willing to do it again should that gap need to change. Should it?
