I have a 91 ranger 4.0. It always runs hot in traffic (235-250 degrees). It runs cool at cruising, but below 35mph it heats up, quick. I have already killed an engine due to it and do not need to go through another. The waterpump, radiator(big one), heater core, hoses, and thermostat(180 degree) are all new.
I was wondering if any of you have put an electric fan on?
What kind?
Did you use special brackets or just the universal ones?
Did you have it runing all the time the truck was or was it switched with a thermocouple?
What size (inch and cfm)?
Do you think if I put a pusher fan behind the grill to compliment the factory pulling fan it will help out much?
Do you know where to find a 200amp alternator for a 4.0 or a bigger than stock amperage?
I am really thinking about the swap but I do not want the electric fan to fail or the brackets breaking or anything else that happens during offroad abuse. any info you guys can give wil be really helpful.
thanks in advance
