I have a be-cool rad. nstalled in my car when the motor went in. It has their module kit for the radiator which included the fans.
The car has always ran hot. 220-240. I fought this for about 2 yrs. I tried everything but a new rad. What could go wrong with a new aluminum radiator?
One day I was getting out of the car with the hood open and the fans running. As in the past with the Factory rad. and a B&M stick on elec. fan when I got out. It would blow my hat off
I noticed now it don't even blow my hair at all so I investigate.
I first thought that the fan was spinning backward as I have seen in the past . Close the hood and drive it gets hot. open the hood and it cools down. GM truck had a serpentine fan on a v belt system. The fans are angled opposite .
I have an electric water pump and twin High H.P fans. I should have noticed my problem when I would pull over to let it cool down on the way to a local car show. But dumb me I didn't think of it until after .
You see, I would turn the fans on and the electric pump without the engine running. It would take a long time to cool down.
Well after not feeling the air blowing I found the problem. The rad tubes were not flat through the center of the rad. They are round. Blocking the air flow!. Somewhere in this rads life it either frooze or it was pressurized for leaks with to much pressure.
It could have been the latter of the two because I had the threaded bungs welded in when I got it. But it did come out of a race car that was sitting with water in it that had the core plugs pushed out.
None the less I bought a new rad $900 because I have everything in the car settup for that be-cool rad. You can actually see light through the new radiator.
Now I just have to get my kid to install it. with a bunch of other things that need to be done to it.
